Could you build this?

No The product depends on a native GPU rendering engine and a byte-compatible reader and writer for Figma's proprietary .fig binary format, which requires deep graphics and reverse-engineering expertise and cannot be produced by vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a Rust rendering stack on wgpu or Metal/Vulkan/DX12, a 2D vector engine such as tiny-skia, and a parser and writer for the proprietary fig-kiwi binary container, likely built through reverse engineering. Matching Figma's behavior (auto-layout, variables, vector networks) at parity requires experienced graphics and tooling engineers working over a long period.
