Could you build this?
Partial While basic Windows desktop utilities are manageable, building a smooth, non-intrusive floating notch overlay with ultra-low resource footprint (0% idle CPU, sub-100MB RAM) and media integration requires low-level Windows API programming.
What it would actually take: Built using C#/WPF, C++, or Rust with Win32 APIs (e.g., SetWindowSubclass, DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea, Windows.Media.Control). The hard parts are seamless desktop window integration, multi-monitor handling, and stringent memory/CPU profiling to maintain sub-100MB RAM and 0% idle CPU without webview bloat.
