   Vibecoded a complex UI with Claude. Now need proper architecture and flows.

   That's a common pattern: use an AI tool to quickly generate a polished interface, then invest time in making the underlying architecture maintainable.

   A practical approach is to work from the outside in:

   1. Inventory the UI

      • List every screen, modal, and component.
      • Identify repeated patterns.
      • Separate purely visual components from stateful ones.

   2. Define the domain Instead of organizing by UI, organize by business concepts. For example:

      /features
        /auth
        /projects
        /tasks
        /billing
      

   3. Map user flows For each major action, write the flow:

      User clicks "Create Project"
          ↓
      Validate form
          ↓
      Call API
          ↓
      Optimistic update?
          ↓
      Success → Navigate
          ↓
      Failure → Roll back + show error
      

   4. Design the data flow Decide:

      • Where server state lives.
      • Where local UI state lives.
      • Which components own which state.
      • Which data is cached.

   5. Separate layers A maintainable structure often looks like:

      UI Components
           ↓
      Feature Logic
           ↓
      Services/API
           ↓
      Backend
      

      Avoid having components directly perform API requests and business logic.

   6. Create a state diagram Every async feature usually has:

      Idle
        ↓
      Loading
        ↓
      Success
         ↘
         Error
      

   7. Refactor incrementally Don't rewrite everything. Take one feature at a time:

      • Extract API calls.
      • Extract business logic.
      • Add types.
      • Add tests.
      • Simplify components.

   Claude (or another coding assistant) can help with each step if you give it focused tasks rather than asking it to "improve the architecture" all at once.

   If you share:

   • your repository structure,
   • the tech stack (React, Next.js, Vue, Flutter, etc.),
   • and a screenshot or description of the UI,

   I can help design a scalable architecture, define the data and navigation flows, and suggest a folder structure that fits your project.
