Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron/Tauri wrapper around standard downloading libraries is straightforward, continuously bypassing anti-scraping and reverse-engineering encrypted or authenticated streams across TikTok, Instagram, and OnlyFans is a fragile, ongoing cat-and-mouse game.
What it would actually take: The app needs a background orchestrator using tools like yt-dlp, Playwright/Puppeteer for browser session hijacking, and protocol reverse engineering for private live streams (HLS/DASH decryption). The difficult part is maintaining scrapers that defeat Cloudflare, device fingerprinting, and DRM/authenticated live-stream protections across constantly shifting platform APIs. This requires continuous maintenance by engineers skilled in web reverse engineering and bot mitigation evasion.
