Could you build this?
No Building a custom shell or compositor layer for Hyprland/Wayland requires deep low-level Linux systems programming, IPC protocols, and Wayland desktop environment architecture.
What it would actually take: Requires C/C++ or Rust to interface directly with the Wayland protocol, wlroots, and Hyprland's IPC socket API. The developer must handle native event loops, window management, layer-shell surfaces, and low-level rendering (e.g., via GTK/Qt/Cairo). This requires specialized knowledge of Linux desktop plumbing and compositor internals far beyond web wrappers.
