Users can draw a digit on a canvas, and the application will predict the drawn number in real-time.\n\n## Features\n\n- Interactive canvas for drawing digits\n- Real-time prediction using a trained neural network\n- Brutalist design aesthetic\n- Responsive layout for both desktop and mobile devices\n- Informative modal explaining the project's purpose and technology stack\n\n## Technology Stack\n\n- Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript\n- Styling: Tailwind CSS\n- Backend: Flask\n- Machine Learning: PyTorch\n- Dataset: MNIST\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. The user draws a digit on the canvas.\n2. The frontend sends the image data to the Flask backend.\n3. The backend processes the image using a trained PyTorch model.\n4. The prediction is sent back to the frontend and displayed in real-time.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js\n- Python 3.x\n- pip\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/neural-network-digit-recognizer.git\n   cd neural-network-digit-recognizer\n   ```\n\n2. Install frontend dependencies:\n   ```\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n3. Install backend dependencies:\n   ```\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n\n### Running the Application\n\n1. Start the development server:\n   ```\n   npm run dev\n   ```\n\n2. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000`\n\n## Deployment\n\nThis application is designed to be deployed on Vercel. Follow the Vercel documentation for deploying Next.js applications with API routes.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull Request.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is open source and available under the [MIT License](LICENSE).\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n- MNIST dataset for providing the training data\n- Next.js and Flask for providing robust frameworks\n- Vercel for hosting and deployment\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzackproser%2Fmnist-mind-mapper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzackproser%2Fmnist-mind-mapper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzackproser%2Fmnist-mind-mapper/lists"}
