Could you build this?
Partial A web UI for an AI code editor is simple to build, but managing containerized iOS and Android simulators with low-latency interactive streaming is an intensive infrastructure challenge.
What it would actually take: The architecture needs a web IDE frontend paired with cloud infrastructure managing QEMU/KVM Android instances and bare-metal macOS runners for iOS simulators. The core difficulty is implementing low-latency video streaming (via WebRTC or scrcpy) with bi-directional touch forwarding, hot-reloading code on mobile runtimes, and managing multi-tenant emulator resource scaling. This requires seasoned DevOps and mobile virtualization expertise.

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