Layerd – Layered system architecture diagrams with 3D visualization

The layer-first canvas and a clear components palette (Services, Databases, Queues, Line Keys) make expressing front-end/back-end/data separation quick and visual. The 2D↔3D toggle is a neat flourish for showing stack depth and ownership, but without visible integrations (Terraform/Cloud import, export/collaboration, or smart layout) it reads as a nicer-looking competitor to existing diagram tools rather than a workflow disruptor.
