Could you build this?
No Building a custom node-based image editor with over 200 real-time GPU-accelerated nodes requires deep computer graphics programming, custom shaders, and low-level macOS graphics pipeline architecture.
What it would actually take: A production version demands a bespoke rendering engine built on Apple Metal or Core Image, with an efficient directed acyclic graph (DAG) evaluation engine that manages GPU texture caches, tile-based rendering, and asynchronous node compute. It requires specialized graphics engineering expertise in writing compute shaders, memory-mapped framebuffers, and real-time GPU pipeline synchronization.
