Could you build this?

Partial The 2D infinite canvas UI can be vibe-coded, but managing live multi-machine remote terminals with tmux/ttyd and reliable low-latency bidirectional streaming requires non-trivial systems infra.

What it would actually take: The stack needs a frontend canvas (e.g., PixiJS or React-Flow) coupled with a Node/Go daemon orchestrating local tmux sessions and ttyd instances via WebSockets. The challenging components include multiplexing remote SSH/daemon connections securely across private machines, NAT traversal or persistent tunneling, and rock-solid PTY state synchronization under spotty network connections. This demands expertise in systems programming, Linux pseudo-terminals, and networking.
