Could you build this?
Partial While the Vue web UI and media player are straightforward, implementing the complete Legado specification parser in Rust alongside complex DOM/rule extraction requires substantial domain-specific reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture comprises a Rust backend (Actix-web/Axum) compiling Legado book source rules (XPath, JSONPath, CSS selectors, JS execution via QuickJS/V8) and streaming media endpoints, connected to a Vue 3 frontend. The core challenge is robustly executing arbitrary JavaScript rule parsers and sandboxed CSS/DOM extraction schemas inherited from the Android Legado ecosystem. This requires advanced knowledge of sandboxed scripting runtimes in Rust and handling diverse encoding issues.
