Could you build this?
Partial Communicating with a local daemon is standard, but building a native macOS terminal and workspace UI in Rust using Zed's bleeding-edge GPUI framework requires niche systems programming knowledge.
What it would actually take: The client requires Rust using GPUI, an asynchronous IPC/Unix domain socket client to talk to the Herdr daemon, and custom terminal emulator rendering views with ANSI/VT100 parser integration. The difficulty lies in GPUI's sparse documentation and strict reactive layout engine, requiring deep knowledge of Rust concurrency and native window event loops.
