Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or Tauri desktop UI is easy to vibe code, building deep native Windows integrations to detect, parse, and monitor save files across thousands of distinct game architectures is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically use C#, Rust, or C++ with native Win32 APIs for registry inspection, filesystem monitoring, and process tracking. The hard part is building and maintaining a accurate metadata database and file-path mapping schema for 12,000+ PC games (across varying engine versions, cloud saves, and custom directory layouts) without third-party platform breakages. It requires dedicated reverse engineering of game directories and robust local systems programming.
