Interesting project. But how is it going to be useful though?

Good question! To be frankly, not much use for a normal development flow (maybe you can use it as a check to see how much compliant is your code with the 'standard'), but it's going to be used by Huula's editor to better identify different elements on a web page, the reason why this is useful there is because Huula editor has all the symantic and visual properties of every element and it can use this information to generate the same class names for similar elements.

I could see this being useful for all sorts of generated-code projects with some tweaking (naming variables, labelling sections in reverse engineering) - do you have any plans to release it?

Hey, really thank you for your interest! Since this project will be part of Huula which I'm trying to build a business upon, it will not be released for now (will do when I fail tho, so stay tuned! ;D)

But, here's an example that's similar to CSSRooster's model https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/examples/imdb_..., for the part that's different (mostly data preprocessing), you need to write your own according to your data anyway. Do let me know if you have any questions.

understandable, and best of luck with the business! Have you seen the AI design work that https://thegrid.io/ are doing? It's interesting to watch the automation of design starting to come up as I'm working in a closely-related market myself. I'll be keeping an eye on your work for sure :)

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that - I don't know much wrt/ AI beyond basic ANN and genetic algorithm logic, but it's worth at least a few weekends!

Thanks for your kind words! Yes, thegrid guys are really good at advertising, they had a very successful kickstarter campaign, but they failed to deliver an actual product. See this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10140724

Huula focuses more on the technology and we really want to build something that's intelligent and amazing. CSSRooster is just our first step, there are certainly a lot of technical challenges to be solved, but I believe we'll have something soon, stay tuned.

huh, I hadn't heard about that. One less competitor though, right?

I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for updates!

Thanks!
