Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard mobile app with web views is easy, but securely tunneling, streaming remote terminals, and controlling desktop OS screens across platforms without open ports requires complex networking and systems code.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires cross-platform native daemons (Go/Rust or C++) utilizing OS accessibility APIs and screen capture kits (CoreGraphics on macOS, X11/Wayland on Linux, DXGI on Windows) coupled with a secure NAT-traversal tunneling protocol (WebRTC, WireGuard, or custom relay infrastructure). It needs high-performance, low-latency binary streaming for pseudo-terminals (PTY) and framebuffers alongside cryptographic pairing between mobile and desktop devices. Deep systems programming and networking expertise are needed.
