Partial A Markdown notes app with collection views is vibe-codeable, but reliable local-first sync across Apple devices via iCloud, including conflict resolution, is a genuinely hard engineering problem.
What it would actually take: Build a native Apple app (SwiftUI/AppKit) that stores plain Markdown files and metadata in a local folder, with views for table, gallery, and cover flow built on the file-level property model. The hard part is syncing through iCloud (CloudKit or iCloud Drive) with offline edits, merges, and conflict resolution that do not lose user data, which takes experience with distributed sync design and thorough testing.
