Description
omadesign is an open-source (MIT) native Linux studio for designers who left macOS — or never had a clean Affinity/Illustrator-shaped seat on Linux. Design, Pixel, Photo, and Motion share one document and layer stack. v0.0.4-alpha. Built to sit down and make work, not babysit Electron.

Could you build this?
No omadesign is an all-in-one native creative desktop suite (vector, raster, RAW photo, and motion graphics) that requires deep graphics engine and systems engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: A production version requires low-level systems programming in Rust interfacing directly with Vulkan or GPU shaders to render complex 2D vector geometry and raster operations at 60 FPS. The critical challenges include building non-destructive layer compositing, reverse-engineering proprietary file formats (PSD, RAW, AI), and implementing robust keyframed animation timelines.
