Software architects and developers often struggle to visualize and communicate complex system designs. A visual IDE would let them sketch architecture diagrams, annotate components, and link to code. Teams would pay for improved collaboration and reduced misunderstandings. Start with a simple drag-and-drop interface for architecture diagrams. The biggest risk is competing with existing tools like Lucidchart or Miro.
