Could you build this?
Partial A basic vector canvas and UI can be vibe-coded, but a real Figma alternative needs high-performance rendering, real-time multiplayer collaboration, and file-format and plugin compatibility that go well beyond AI-assisted coding alone.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Rust core (rendering and scene graph, likely via WebGPU or Skia) compiled to WASM for a web client. The hard parts are conflict-free real-time collaboration (CRDTs or OT), performant rendering of large documents, and import/export fidelity. This requires graphics engineering and distributed-systems expertise, and a multi-year team effort.
