Architecture Canvas v0.2.1-alpha — Editable architecture diagrams with reviewable AI updates

Create architecture diagrams through conversation, keep a manually editable canvas, and review proposed changes before applying them. This first public Alpha also includes an offline demo and optional Tavily search.

Visual proof

Offline architecture workspace

Actual application with the hand-authored offline sample; this is editing evidence, not an LLM quality benchmark.

Should I update?

Update now if:

  • You want a local architecture workspace with document reading and editable output.

You can defer if:

  • You need multi-user hosting, real-time collaboration, sequence diagrams or an English application UI.

What changed

  • Review AI modification proposals before applying them.
  • Retain detailed semantic relationships while showing a simple module overview.
  • Import a demo without model credentials; export SVG, PNG and editable files.
  • Reuse Tavily as a Harness plugin or standalone HTTP/JS module.

Install or update

git clone --branch v0.2.1-alpha https://github.com/weike-zhang/architecture-canvas.git
cd architecture-canvas
python3 start.py

Known limitations
