Could you build this?
Partial The web UI and basic vector conversion are straightforward, but running heavy geoprocessing tasks like hydrological watershed delineation and raster K-means classification in the browser requires specialized GIS engine integration.
What it would actually take: A functional browser GIS platform relies on WebAssembly ports of GDAL/GEOS/PROJ, Turf.js for vector math, and WebGL/WebGPU shaders or Web Workers for raster calculation. The difficult aspects are compiling and optimizing heavy spatial C++ libraries to Wasm, managing large spatial datasets in memory, and implementing robust numerical algorithms for hydrology (e.g., D8 flow algorithms) and topological network analysis.
