Could you build this?
Partial A web or Electron-style multiplexer UI is vibe-codeable, but a real version needs a correct terminal emulator, native Apple apps, and low-latency multiplayer sync, which are hard engineering problems.
What it would actually take: A real build needs a terminal emulation core (VT parsing, PTY management, GPU rendering), native macOS and iOS clients, and a CRDT or OT-based sync layer for multiplayer state. Latency and rendering fidelity are the hard parts. This requires experienced systems and native UI engineers, not just AI-assisted coding.
