• COMPASS create geocoded SLCs for Sentinel-1 using isce3
• s1-reader is the tool that reads the Sentinel-1 metadata for each burst. It's used by both COMPASS and the RTC repo
• Fringe was the prototype software for doing SqueeSAR-like PS/DS processing. dolphin is a new version of this, trying to improve on general software stability/usability so it can be run in production at scale.
• sweets is an early experiment in making an easy-to-use workflows with these new tools. Like topsStack but for isce3 (and with geocoded SLCs, not radar coordinates). It will probably have an option to do dolphin processing, but for now it just makes multilooked interferograms to be ready for MintPy
