Could you build this?
Partial A basic embedded document store with brute-force vector search can be vibe-coded. A robust, performant engine with persistence, approximate nearest-neighbor indexing, and cross-platform local-first sync needs systems and database engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: The core is a storage engine with a document layer, a vector index such as HNSW, and a persistence format that works across browser and native targets. Performance and crash-consistency are the hard parts, verified with benchmarks and fault-injection tests. Building it well requires database internals experience, and the project is already open source, so reusing its design is more practical.
