Could you build this?
Partial While basic canvas drawing and UI layout are vibe-codeable, building a performant infinite canvas with real-time multi-user CRDT synchronization requires specialized distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A production Miro alternative requires a custom high-performance rendering engine (WebGL, Canvas, or Rust/WASM via PixiJS or custom shaders) paired with a conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) engine like Yjs or Automerge. The hard part is maintaining 60fps pan/zoom with thousands of visual nodes and conflict-free collaborative state sync over WebSockets. It requires deep frontend graphics optimization and real-time multiplayer synchronization expertise.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
