The layers are fun, but without some form of linking between elements and layers, it becomes hard to figure out what relationship there is between them.
I'd also enjoy a slightly easier way to link things. Having to drag an arrow from the sidebar to the field, then manually link the two points is quite slow. Normally these systems have a sort of handle when you've selected something that allows you to make a new arrow to another item.
I’m working on both those things right now. Thank you for the feedback!
In general I wanted to see if people were receptive to this format of diagram before sinking more time into features, because there’s just no stopping point to diagramming features. Now that the concept has gotten some validation, the diagramming tool itself is going to be getting a lot better real soon. I’ll post updates here: https://twitter.com/terrastruct
