Could you build this?
Partial A mind-map canvas with keyboard navigation and per-node rich notes is vibe-codeable, but a polished native offline Mac app with equations, code blocks, presentation mode, and self-hosted sync is substantial work.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift with SwiftUI/AppKit, using a custom canvas for node layout and a rich-text or Markdown editor (with KaTeX-style math and code highlighting) for each node's page. Storage would be a local document format, with sync via a user-supplied backend such as iCloud or WebDAV. The hard parts are a performant, polished canvas interaction model and reliable sync and conflict handling, which need an experienced macOS developer.
