Could you build this?

Partial The UI and tuning presets are vibe-codeable, but the core effects depend on low-level Windows networking and timing behavior. Real results would need kernel-level or driver-level work that vibe coding alone is unlikely to produce reliably.

What it would actually take: A real version would be a Windows system utility, likely in C or C++ or Rust, that adjusts timer resolution, process scheduling, and network settings. Packet-level jitter and ping fixes typically require a packet filter or driver such as WinDivert or a custom NDIS filter. It also needs careful testing against anti-cheat systems, so expertise in Windows internals and networking is required.
