Could you build this?
Partial The Mac UI, device frame, and capture/share features are straightforward to vibe-code, but a real client needs low-latency H.264 video decoding and reliable input injection over the scrcpy protocol, which requires systems-level work beyond prompting.
What it would actually take: Build a native client (Rust, as the project does) that launches the scrcpy server over ADB, reads its video and control streams, and decodes H.264 with a hardware-accelerated decoder (VideoToolbox on macOS, plus Windows and Linux equivalents). The hard parts are keeping latency low, handling device disconnects and multi-platform quirks, and mapping mouse and keyboard to touch events. This needs someone comfortable with systems programming, media pipelines, and ADB internals.
