Could you build this?
Partial While basic 2D pixel canvases can be coded quickly, a smooth, offline iPad studio handling low-latency Apple Pencil inputs, animation timelines, and complex binary export formats (ASE, PSD) is challenging.
What it would actually take: A native iPadOS app written in Swift using PencilKit or Metal for hardware-accelerated drawing with custom low-latency stroke smoothing. The hard parts include handling multi-layer animation timelines, high-performance undo/redo stacks on memory-constrained devices, and reverse-engineering or parsing complex proprietary binary file formats like Aseprite (.ase) and Adobe Photoshop (.psd).
