ArchFlow

Engineers and founders often need a fast way to explore architecture ideas without jumping straight into docs or whiteboards. I built ArchFlow as a serious product-grade playground where users can model software systems visually, explore realistic production templates, and understand architectural trade-offs through guided storytelling and metadata.

Designed the product around an interactive board workspace using React Flow for explicit node-edge modeling, Convex for realtime synchronization and board persistence, and Zustand for predictable local orchestration. Focused on product-grade details including multiplayer presence, ephemeral cursor chat, dynamic SEO metadata, analytics instrumentation, and seamless continuation flows to make architecture exploration feel collaborative, realistic, and production-ready.

• Built a visual system design workspace with drag-and-drop nodes, edges, and reusable production-grade architecture templates.

• Implemented realtime multiplayer collaboration with live cursors, presence avatars, and ephemeral slash cursor chat.

• Structured board persistence and duplication flows to support seamless architecture exploration across sessions.

• Designed template storytelling layers with stack guidance, metadata, and explicit trade-off explanations.

• Implemented production-ready SEO foundations including dynamic metadata, sitemap, robots, OG, canonical, and favicon handling.

• Integrated Google Analytics instrumentation for real user behavior tracking and template interaction insights.

• Polished interaction details with Framer Motion while maintaining build stability, dead-code discipline, and predictable performance.

• Prioritized realistic production templates over broad diagramming flexibility to keep exploration grounded in real-world systems.

• Balanced realtime collaboration richness with predictable board performance and state clarity.
