Could you build this?
Partial A native desktop app launcher running at low memory footprint (~80MB) with fast local file indexing requires lower-level native OS integrations that LLMs struggle to generate reliably.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a lightweight desktop runtime (such as Rust with Tauri or C++/Qt) interfacing directly with OS-level file system indexing APIs (Windows Search API, Spotlight, or Linux locate/fd). Specialized knowledge in native systems programming, memory profiling, and cross-platform desktop UI development is necessary.
