Partial The app UI and barcode lookup are simple, but the core of matching a photographed piece to a puzzle needs computer vision and a database of 10,000+ puzzle images that is hard to assemble.
What it would actually take: A basic version uses OpenCV or a feature-matching library such as SIFT or ORB on photos of the puzzle, with a mobile frontend and barcode scanning. The hard part is the reference data: it needs image sets or scans for thousands of puzzles, which means licensing or building that corpus. Tuning match accuracy to the stated 80% level takes computer-vision experience.
