Could you build this?
Partial The desktop studio UI and basic JS log streaming are simple to vibe-code, but tapping into low-level binary engines like MMKV and SQLite inside native React Native runtimes without crashing apps is difficult.
What it would actually take: A desktop GUI (Electron or Tauri) communicating over WebSockets with custom React Native libraries written in C++ (JSI), Swift, and Kotlin. The core technical hurdle is building non-intrusive JSI hooks that intercept fast binary storage reads/writes (MMKV, raw SQLite) and network streams across differing React Native architectures. This requires deep systems-level knowledge of mobile runtime internals and C++ JSI bindings.
