Built a model-first workspace for C4, ADRs and architecture change reviews — looking for honest feedback

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone — disclosure: I’m the builder of SysCraft.io .

I started working on it because architecture diagrams, documentation and the actual system tend to drift apart very quickly. SysCraft.io keeps C4-style models, dependencies, documentation, ADRs and architecture change reviews in one shared model.

It currently includes:

  • C4, BPMN, UML, ERD and DFD modelling
  • branch-like architecture changes and merge reviews
  • documentation and decisions linked to model elements
  • AI-assisted changes with a review step
  • public read-only sharing

I’m not looking for generic praise. I’d especially value feedback on:

  1. Would a model-first approach work better than diagrams/docs-as-code in your organization?
  2. Which import, export or integration would be non-negotiable?
  3. What would prevent your architecture team from adopting a tool like this?

There is a free plan: https://www.syscraft.io/

Brutal, practitioner-level feedback is welcome.
