Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or Tauri desktop UI is easy to assemble, optimizing offline facial recognition, video decoding, and vector indexing on local hardware requires specialized tuning.
What it would actually take: A desktop app using Electron or Tauri wrapping Python/C++ bindings for OpenCV, FFmpeg, and an embedded face embedding model (e.g., InsightFace/ArcFace). The hard part is performant frame extraction from videos and low-latency similarity search (e.g., HNSWlib/Faiss) across thousands of local files without excessive memory or CPU usage. Requires solid knowledge of media pipelines, edge ML inference, and native desktop bridges.
