Could you build this?
No Building a native Linux desktop utility targeting Hyprland and Wayland protocols in Rust and GTK4 requires deep systems programming, Wayland layer-shell protocol handling, and IPC expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires Rust, GTK4/libadwaita, and the `gtk4-layer-shell` or native Wayland protocols (wlr-layer-shell) to dock widgets into tiling window managers like Hyprland. The core difficulty lies in low-level Wayland IPC event handling, asynchronous system clipboard Daemons without X11 fallbacks, and managing hardware notch geometries at the compositor level.
