 ## Docs   
 In progress. Documenting now!  
 
+## Disclaimer 
+This is a research tool I built for myself internally while doing my PhD. The API is not 100% production quality, but my hope is that by open-sourcing, we can all get it there (I don't have too much time nowadays to write production-level code).

 ## What is it?  
 Keras is too abstract for researchers. Lightning makes it so you only have to define your model but still control all details of training if you need to.
