Partial The component API and CSS-based styling are straightforward, but the real refraction effect needs custom WebGL shader work and a performance-tuned rendering pipeline, including nine-slice map generation and frame-budget management. Vibe coding can get a basic version, but matching the claimed performance and cross-browser behavior needs graphics expertise.
What it would actually take: The architecture is a Web Components library with a shared ticker and multiple renderers: CSS/SVG fallback, WebGL, and WebGPU for generating displacement and normal maps. The hard part is per-pixel refraction with a specular rim, sampled from the backdrop, that stays at 60 fps with many surfaces. That requires shader and GPU-performance experience and careful profiling across browsers.
