Training takes minutes and shows no visible progress at first
From 2 comments
I gave it a few minutes and got nothing. Maybe try for something even simpler than MNIST, so we can get the great immediate feedback effect of http://playground.tensorflow.org,…
SonOfLilit on HNSmall nitpick, but I feel like it should start training by default. Took me a good minute to realize why no progress was being made.

Hard to understand the UI and graphs
From 2 comments
Yeah ok it's pretty misleading. And if you let it run longer the generator starts getting a little better. It took me a long time to figure out the UI.

Questions
Did training start when the user clicked train
From 1 comment
Did you click "train"? Otherwise it's just doing inference from random data.
