Could you build this?
No Building a high-performance, web-based vector animation suite with timeline interpolation, state machines, and Lottie/Bodymovin spec compliance requires specialized computer graphics engineering that cannot be vibe coded.
What it would actually take: The stack would require WebGPU/WebGL or Canvas rendering via Rust compiled to WebAssembly (or low-level TypeScript graphics pipelines) to handle complex vector geometry and Bezier interpolation at 60 FPS. The core challenge is building a full bezier-curve spline editor, keyframe animation engine, and a deterministic state machine that mirrors the complex, undocumented edge cases of the Lottie/dotLottie format. This requires deep graphics programming expertise, performance profiling, and rigorous rendering math.
