Could you build this?
Partial A browser-based desktop shell with windowing is vibe-codeable, but a real developer ecosystem needs a secure sandbox, a package/app store, and permission models, which are hard to get right.
What it would actually take: Build a web desktop front end (React with a window manager) and an app runtime that loads third-party apps in sandboxed iframes or workers. The hard parts are isolation and security for untrusted code, a permissions model, a storage/filesystem abstraction, and a distribution/review system. That requires web security expertise and substantial ongoing platform engineering.
