Could you build this?
Partial The spatial TUI and config parsing are easily generated with AI, but interacting correctly with Hyprland's IPC socket, monitor hotplug udev events, and robust spatial display arrangements requires specific Linux Wayland systems programming.
What it would actually take: The tool consists of two zero-dependency Go binaries: an interactive Bubbletea/Lipgloss TUI spatial editor and a background hotplug daemon. The hard part is interfacing with Hyprland's UNIX domain socket IPC, listening for udev/DRM monitor events, calculating non-overlapping 2D multi-monitor coordinates, and implementing atomic rollback if display server configurations fail. It requires solid understanding of Linux Wayland compositors and low-level display IPC.
