Could you build this?
Partial A webOS launcher UI is standard web tech (HTML/CSS/JS for Chrome 79), but interfacing with webOS Luna Service Bus APIs to query installed TV apps and launch them requires platform-specific embedded OS knowledge.
What it would actually take: The frontend is built with web technologies (Enact or vanilla JS targeted at Chromium 79) running in the webOS app environment. The complex part is interfacing with LG webOS system services via PalmServiceBridge/Luna API (`luna://com.webos.applicationManager`) without root to query packages, intercept home intents, and launch native/web applications reliably. It requires access to webOS TV SDKs and practical knowledge of LG TV system service permissions and quirks.
