Could you build this?
No Adobe InDesign is a professional desktop publishing and typesetting suite developed over decades with extraordinarily complex typographic, layout, and rendering engines.
What it would actually take: Requires high-performance C++ desktop application architecture using advanced 2D graphics libraries (Skia/Direct2D) and complex font layout/shaping engines (HarfBuzz). The hardest components are precision multi-column typesetting algorithms, hyphenation and justification (H&J) engines, prepress color separation (CMYK/pantone), and complex vector geometry manipulation. Requires specialized engineering teams with decades of combined experience in computational typography, graphics rendering, and print publishing standards.
