Could you build this?

Partial The front-end overlay UI and widget layouts are easy to vibe-code, but non-intrusively capturing frame statistics and rendering over fullscreen exclusive games without anti-cheat bans requires native hooks.

What it would actually take: A robust implementation needs a lightweight C++ rendering overlay using transparent desktop windows or graphics API hooking (Direct3D 11/12, Vulkan) combined with ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) or PresentMon to accurately capture frame timings without triggering game anti-cheat bans. It also integrates hardware monitoring sensors via LibreHardwareMonitor/WMI, orchestrated by a flexible web- or C++-based widget rendering engine.
