Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic shapes and connectors can be vibe-coded in Swift. A professional diagramming app also needs a robust vector rendering engine, Apple Pencil precision, and compatibility with an existing proprietary document format, which is deep graphics and iOS engineering.
What it would actually take: Build a native iPadOS app in Swift using UIKit or SwiftUI with Core Graphics or Metal for rendering, plus a document model with undo, layout, and connector routing. The hard parts are the performant vector engine and reading and writing the Graffle file format, which needs reverse engineering or a documented spec and a mature graphics and iOS team.
