Could you build this?
Partial Building an Electron-based shell wrapping LLM API calls is straightforward, but creating an efficient local indexing pipeline with background browser automation and robust diff tracking requires deeper systems architecture.
What it would actually take: The app would use Electron or Tauri with an embedded headless browser (Playwright or Chromium engine) to fetch and crawl pages. A local vector database (like SQLite with sqlite-vec or LanceDB) indexes user reading history offline, and a persistent background daemon runs scheduled web scraping jobs with custom DOM-diffing algorithms to monitor data changes without token bloat.
