Could you build this?
Partial While basic CSS zoom/pan effects can be vibe-coded, an infinite canvas Zooming User Interface (ZUI) library requires sophisticated matrix transformations, spatial indexing (R-trees), and virtualized DOM/WebGL rendering.
What it would actually take: Building a performant ZUI library requires TypeScript and Canvas/WebGL or hardware-accelerated CSS 3D matrix math. The hardest components are managing spatial hierarchies (viewports within viewports), maintaining 60 FPS transitions during deep recursive zooms, and handling user event coordinate mapping across nested coordinate systems.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
