Partial The editor and recording UI are codeable, but polished native screen capture, scrolling-page capture, and on-device OCR across Windows, Mac, and Linux are hard to get right without platform-specific expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version would likely use Tauri or Electron with native modules for screen capture (ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, DXGI/GDI on Windows, PipeWire on Linux) and an OCR engine such as Tesseract or the OS-native OCR. Getting scrolling capture, multi-monitor handling, and reliable MP4/GIF encoding with system audio mixing requires an engineer who knows each OS's capture and permissions model.
