Could you build this?

Partial The UI and workflow are buildable on GPUI with AI help, but a terminal emulator needs a correct VT/ANSI parser, PTY handling, and rendering performance that vibe coding alone can't guarantee.

What it would actually take: The stack would be Rust with GPUI for rendering, a PTY layer (portable-pty or similar), and a VT parser, where existing crates like alacritty_terminal can cut the work. The hard parts are terminal-escape-sequence fidelity, glyph shaping, and low-latency rendering across platforms. A builder needs solid Rust and systems experience to integrate and debug these pieces.
