It is an in-house tool that is used in our so-called VML-flow
(Versatile Markup Language), so it is not out in the open yet.

The same model file is used internally in many ways - but exposing it
to the public is something we have not tried before, and having this
view is so much nicer that the usual datasheet, I find...

And thanks for the kind words - I passed them on to the author.
