Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron/Tauri desktop UI is straightforward, integrating local faster-whisper, custom CUDA fallbacks, real-time waveform timing, and libass video burning requires tricky native integration.
What it would actually take: A full implementation requires a desktop wrapper like Tauri or Electron paired with a local Rust or Python backend. The hard parts are bundling and dynamically managing native dependencies across OSs (CUDA runtimes, faster-whisper C++ binaries, and FFmpeg/libass bindings for hardware-accelerated subtitled video rendering) without bloated or broken installers. Deep knowledge of cross-platform native compilation and C/C++ FFI bindings is required.
