Could you build this?
Partial The Tauri/React desktop canvas and API integration are easily vibe-coded, but automatic segmentation and extraction of anime character outfit layers requires specialized computer vision models.
What it would actually take: The frontend uses Tauri with Bun, React, and an infinite canvas library (e.g. Tldraw or Fabric.js). The hard technical element is segmenting anime clothing, which requires custom-trained or fine-tuned segmentation models (like Anime Segment Anything / SAM) paired with Stable Diffusion inpainting/outpainting pipelines.
