Clean Architecture layers in Flutter - UI Render Trace

Component - Clean Architecture layers

This UI component visually explains the Clean Architecture layers in a Flutter app. It shows the separation of concerns by layering the UI, domain, and data parts clearly, helping beginners understand how app code is organized for maintainability and testability.
