Could you build this?
Partial The playground UI and CSS export are vibe-codeable, but the convincing refracting thick-rim lens and wallpaper-adaptive ink depend on real shader and optics work that is hard to get right.
What it would actually take: The core is a WebGL/WebGPU shader that samples and refracts the backdrop through a signed-distance rim, with per-engine tuning for WebKit and Chromium. Achieving the look needs graphics programming experience with shaders and color science, and the wallpaper-adaptive part needs image analysis to set ink contrast.
