Could you build this?
Partial Writing a high-performance, cross-platform native Rust application that handles rapid filesystem traversal, remote SSH scanning, and animated sunburst visualizations requires low-level systems programming beyond basic vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a Rust desktop stack (e.g., Tauri, Slint, or iced) interacting directly with OS filesystem APIs across Windows (Win32), macOS, and Linux, plus libssh2 bindings for remote scanning. The primary challenge is multithreaded directory traversal and memory-efficient tree manipulation that doesn't choke on millions of inodes, alongside optimized 60fps canvas/GPU rendering for sunburst/treemap visualizations. Deep systems programming and native OS API experience are necessary.
