Could you build this?
Partial The UI wrapper and ONNX-based background removal are vibe-codeable, but building a smooth, low-latency multi-layer compositing and brush rasterization engine on Windows requires specialized graphics programming.
What it would actually take: Likely built in C++ or C# using WinUI/DirectX/Direct2D or Skia for GPU-accelerated canvas rendering, paired with ONNX Runtime using DirectML for local machine learning segmentation models. The hardest challenge is building a performant, tile-based undo/redo memory buffer and zero-latency brush engine capable of handling high-resolution layered documents. Requires low-level Windows desktop graphics and GPU shader engineering skills.
