Could you build this?

Partial The Electron/macOS desktop player wrapper is easily vibe-coded, but reliably scraping, decrypting, and parsing undocumented private streaming APIs from Hongguo Short Drama requires ongoing reverse-engineering.

What it would actually take: The app is structured as an Electron or Tauri desktop wrapper equipped with standard video players (like ffmpeg or mpv/AVPlayer). The challenging component is reverse-engineering Hongguo's mobile application traffic, decrypting API signatures/tokens, and demuxing proprietary audio formats (such as HE-AACv2). Ongoing maintenance requires reverse-engineering skills to adapt whenever the upstream platform updates its security tokens or API endpoints.
