Could you build this?

Partial Building a mobile UI with standard terminal emulation is feasible, but implementing low-latency SSH/Mosh protocols, mobile background persistence, and seamless remote process/screen management requires low-level networking and mobile systems expertise.

What it would actually take: A production version would require a Flutter or React Native mobile frontend embedding a native C/Rust terminal emulator engine (like libssh2 or native mosh bindings). The core challenge is maintaining stable UDP/TCP connections through mobile OS sleep/suspend lifecycles, battery optimization constraints, and mobile-friendly touch/gesture inputs for terminal escape codes. It requires deep knowledge of Unix terminal protocols (pty, termios), network sockets, and mobile background execution.
