Arch Review, a system-design trainer with a dislike of needless boxes
A canvas-based architecture practice tool that checks system designs against concrete requirements and scores them across five axes.
Field notes
The tool turns system-design practice into a constrained canvas exercise rather than an open-ended architecture prompt. Tasks specify operational numbers such as response windows, seats, and buyers, while reviews score requirements, resilience, scale, data, and simplicity. Findings attach to named components and can highlight omissions such as a load balancer without health checks. Basic reviews are presented as free and accountless; longer reviews use an Anthropic key billed to the user’s account.
