Netviz

Netviz is a browser-based app for designing and animating network architectures visually.

Add components like servers, proxies, and databases to a canvas, connect them to map data flow, then build animated request paths for presentations and recordings.

[!IMPORTANT]
This project was entirely created using AI, but the application has been thoroughly tested.

This project was built primarily for my personal use, so I will not be merging pull requests or adding new features unless I need them myself. If you want to make changes or add features, feel free to fork this repository.
