Could you build this?
Partial The web-based node editor and GLSL shader preview are easily vibe-coded, but real-time UDP/E1.31/DDP streaming synchronization with physical WLED strips introduces complex timing constraints.
What it would actually take: Frontend built with WebGL/Three.js and node-based graph libraries (e.g., Rete.js or LiteGraph) paired with a WebSockets or WebRTC bridge. The hard part is generating compact frame buffers and streaming real-time lighting protocols (DDP, E1.31 sACN, or raw UDP) with minimal jitter and low latency over Wi-Fi to ESP8266/ESP32 hardware.
