Could you build this?
Partial Providing real-time desktop workspaces with seamless zero-install P2P/guest cross-device file sharing and remote access involves non-trivial WebRTC/NAT traversal infrastructure and OS-level integration.
What it would actually take: Needs a native desktop shell (Electron/Tauri/C++) interfaced with OS window APIs, coupled with WebRTC data channels and self-hosted STUN/TURN signaling relays for robust NAT hole-punching. The engineering challenge is maintaining stable, zero-cloud peer-to-peer streaming and file sync across heterogeneous network configurations and mobile browsers.
