Could you build this?

Partial A flow-diagram UI and CLI for transformations can be vibe-coded, but a usable data transformation tool needs a real execution and lineage engine that is hard to get correct.

What it would actually take: The stack would probably be a SQL-first transformation core on DuckDB, with a parser for dependency graphs to build lineage and a visual DAG editor on the front end. The difficult parts are correct incremental execution, SQL dialect handling, and column-level lineage. Someone with data-tooling experience (dbt-style internals) would be needed to make it trustworthy.
