Could you build this?

Partial The Tauri and React UI is vibe-codeable, but a remote desktop that is genuinely high-performance needs hardware-accelerated screen capture and encoding, input injection, and NAT traversal, which are demanding systems problems.

What it would actually take: Architecture is a Rust core using QUIC (quinn) for transport, a relay or hole-punching service for NAT traversal, and per-OS capture and encoding pipelines (DXGI or ScreenCaptureKit, H.264/AV1 hardware encoders). The hard parts are latency tuning, cross-platform input handling, and security (encryption, authentication, and access control). This requires systems engineers with graphics and networking experience.
