Could you build this?
Partial The browser UI, offline weighing programs, and storage are straightforward to vibe-code, but supporting 'almost every' scale requires writing and maintaining a separate driver for each manufacturer's Bluetooth or serial protocol, which often means reverse-engineering undocumented formats.
What it would actually take: Build a static web app using the Web Bluetooth and Web Serial/WebUSB APIs with local storage (IndexedDB) and no backend. The hard part is the device-protocol layer: collecting scale models, capturing their BLE/serial traffic, and writing and testing a parser for each family. That takes hardware access, patience with undocumented protocols, and some electronics or protocol-analysis skill.
