Could you build this?
Partial Building a general web UI and wrapping an open-source scanner is easy, but achieving Scandit-grade high-speed, multi-format camera decoding requires deep WebAssembly and computer vision optimization.
What it would actually take: A high-performance barcode engine compiles optimized C/C++ computer vision libraries (such as ZXing-C++ or custom decoders) to WebAssembly with SIMD acceleration and Web Workers. It requires computer vision expertise to handle tough angles, low contrast, motion blur, and glare across diverse mobile browser camera feeds.
