Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or SwiftUI shell is straightforward, reaching high transfer speeds (769% over stock SFTP) with parallel multiplexing, pipelining, and high-performance SHA-256 integrity verification requires deep systems networking skills.
What it would actually take: Requires native systems programming (Rust, C++, or Swift) leveraging libssh2 or custom SFTP packet multiplexing with concurrency control, connection pooling, and optimized multi-threaded crypto verification. Achieving such throughput improvements over standard OpenSSH requires low-level TCP window tuning and asynchronous I/O architectures.
