-Visualise textual Tensorflow summaries as a directed graph.
+> Visualise textual Tensorflow summaries as a directed graph.
+
+Tensorflow summaries are invaluable to understand how a model is put together. They usually look like this:
+
+```
+Model: "sequential"
+_________________________________________________________________
+ Layer (type)                Output Shape              Param #   
+=================================================================
+ bidirectional (Bidirectiona  (None, 100, 256)         336896    
+ l)                                                              
+                                                                 
+ bidirectional_1 (Bidirectio  (None, 256)              394240

+                                                                 
+ dense (Dense)               (None, 2)                 514

+
+Pretty easy to understand, right? But what about [this monster](./samples/deeplabv3%2B.txt)? Or [this one](mono-failure.txt) (this one doesn't actually work, do not implement at home)?
+
+Larger models (and those aren't just a simple stack of layers) can be a nightmare to understand - even with a summary - hence this project was born :-)
+
+It converts the above textual tensorflow summary into a directed graph with [nomnoml](https://nomnoml.com).

+```bash
+git clone https://git.starbeamrainbowlabs.com/sbrl/tfsummaryvis.git
+cd tfsummaryvis;
+```
+
+Then, install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+Next, build the client-side app:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+Finally, serve with your [favourite static web server](https://gist.github.com/willurd/5720255):
