-DeepForge is an open-source visual development environment for deep learning. Currently, it supports Convolutional Neural Networks, RNNs and LSTMs as well as the creation of custom layers. Additional features include:
+DeepForge is an open-source visual development environment for deep learning providing end-to-end support for creating deep learning models. This is achieved through providing the ability to design **architectures**, create training **pipelines**, and then execute these pipelines over a cluster. Using a notebook-esque api, users can get real-time feedback about the status of any of their **executions** including compare them side-by-side in real-time.

+Additional features include:
 - Graphical architecture editor
 - Training/testing pipeline creation
 - Distributed pipeline execution
 - Real-time pipeline feedback
 - Collaborative editing
 - Automatic version control.
+- Facilitates defining custom layers
