Partial A browser-based layout editor with Markdown, frames, and PDF export is vibe-codeable as a basic version, but professional print output (text flow, typography, font embedding, color management) is hard.
What it would actually take: A basic version can use a canvas or SVG editor, a Markdown parser, and a PDF library. Getting print-ready quality needs a real text-layout engine (line breaking, hyphenation, kerning, linked-frame overflow), font subsetting and embedding, and accurate 300 dpi rasterization. That takes typography and PDF-format expertise, and years of refinement to match InDesign-class behavior.
