"Segmentation-free Analysis of In Situ Capture data" or alternatively "Stupid Acronyms In Science"

sainsc is a segmentation-free analysis tool for spatial transcriptomics from in situ capture technologies (but also works for imaging-based technologies). It is easily integratable with the scverse (i.e. scanpy and squidpy) by exporting data in AnnData or SpatialData format.

Installation
