Positive experience with SCONE - Feature Request, Cloud Support, and Pricing

[Ali Forouzanfar]

Hi everyone,

I've been using SCONE for about a month now, and I'm really impressed! It's a fantastic tool, and in some ways I believe it surpasses MuJoCo.

However, I do have a few requests for the developers:

OpenSim 4 Support: Could you please consider adding support for OpenSim 4 for macOS and Linux?
Cloud Platforms: It would be amazing if SCONE could be run on Google Cloud platforms like Colab.
Student Pricing: Hyfydy is a bit too expensive for me as a student. Would you consider offering a student version or special discounts for academic use?

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work with SCONE!

Thank you, that is great to hear!

The support for OpenSim 4 on other platforms unfortunately largely depends on community support, as I currently do not have the knowledge or resources to implement this. Cloud platforms like Google Colab might be interesting to look into.

With regards to Hyfydy pricing: we are planning to offer a 50% discount to countries with a GDP below the world average. Let me know if this would be helpful for your situation.
