Could you build this?
Partial A lightweight web launcher UI is simple to create, but running it as a primary shell on rooted LG webOS requires deep platform-specific homebrew and Luna service integration.
What it would actually take: The frontend is standard web tech (HTML/JS/CSS), but system integration requires webOS Homebrew tools, luna-send bus communication, and hacking the webOS bootloader/window manager scripts to replace the stock system dashboard. It demands embedded Linux/webOS homebrew familiarity and knowledge of LG's proprietary service APIs.
