Could you build this?
Partial While the fly-out UI and basic system telemetry can be vibe-coded, low-level hardware sensor reading requires signed kernel-mode drivers (PawnIO) and hardware-specific register access.
What it would actually take: A full build requires C++/Direct2D for low-overhead rendering, Win32 edge-detection/mouse hooks, and integration with kernel drivers like PawnIO or WinRing0 to read MSRs and SMBus/SuperIO sensor chips across AMD/Intel architectures. The hard parts are kernel-mode driver signing compliance and hardware-specific sensor calibration across hundreds of motherboard chipsets.
