Could you build this?
Partial The database schema, API, and web interface are trivial to vibe-code, but curating a comprehensive, validated scientific infrared spectral dataset requires domain-specific spectroscopy data collection and validation.
What it would actually take: The system needs a standard relational or document database (PostgreSQL/MongoDB) fronted by an API and web viewer, but crucially relies on calibrated laboratory FTIR/spectroscopic data ingestion, spectral format parsing (JCAMP-DX), and domain curation expertise.
