Hey HN — This is a simple web app that allows you to enter text and watch as an in-browser neural network generates the corresponding handwriting in real time. I’m happy to hear feedback or answer questions about how it works!

Very neat! Would you be willing to share more about how you're implementing the in-browser neural network? Doesn't look like webassembly, and I don't see you load any external libraries, just download a binary with content-type "application/macbinary".
I implemented the network from scratch in vanilla javascript. The file is just a custom binary file containing the names, shapes, and weights of the network parameters. If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask them.
That's pretty cool.
