Neural Network Architecture Renderer

I put together render.nml.wtf as a small browser-based tool for sketching neural network schematics and exporting figure-ready panels.

The goal is to make it easier to produce clear architecture diagrams for AI/ML research without rebuilding the same visual grammar in a slide deck, vector editor, or one-off plotting script every time. The app is meant for laying out layers, connections, and figure panels in a way that can be quickly revised as the model changes.

Figure panels for model diagrams

I am especially interested in tools that sit between rough whiteboard sketches and polished publication figures. A renderer like this can help keep network diagrams consistent across papers, posters, talks, documentation, and lab notes, while still being lightweight enough to use during active model development.

The longer-term idea is to make it simple to export schematics of neural network architectures in reusable formats, including publication-oriented graphics and code-adjacent representations such as TikZ.
