Could you build this?
Partial The SwiftUI and WinUI frontends are vibe-codeable, but handling low-latency OS input event hooking, synthetic injection, and edge-crossing coordination requires deep platform API knowledge.
What it would actually take: Implemented in Swift on macOS and C++/WinUI on Windows, communicating over an encrypted UDP/TCP local network socket. The hard challenge is hooking raw OS input (CGEventTap on macOS, SetWindowsHookEx/SendInput on Windows) with sub-millisecond latency and mapping disparate DPIs and multi-monitor layouts smoothly across operating systems.
