Could you build this?
Partial While basic cross-platform clipboard apps exist, real-time peer-to-peer local network discovery, secure TLS handshake without centralized auth, and reliable OS-level clipboard integration across macOS and Windows require low-level system programming.
What it would actually take: The stack likely uses Rust, Go, or C++ with mDNS/Zeroconf for local device discovery, custom TLS/DTLS socket tunnels over local IPv6/IPv4, and platform-specific clipboard hooks (Win32 clipboard APIs and macOS NSPasteboard). The complex parts are handling non-text clipboard formats (file references, arbitrary image formats, delayed rendering) and reliable background connection handling without OS battery/sleep timeouts.
