Could you build this?
Partial The release feed and desktop installers are standard packaging and auto-update work, but the underlying mail-to-API product depends on inbound email infrastructure (SMTP receiving, parsing, deliverability) that vibe coding alone won't produce. The page text is mostly scraped boilerplate, so the product is only partly visible.
What it would actually take: The desktop shell can be built with Electron or Tauri plus a standard update feed such as electron-updater or Squirrel, with code signing and notarization. The hard part is the mail backend: receiving mail via MX records and an SMTP server (or a provider like SES, Postmark, or Mailgun inbound), parsing MIME and attachments reliably, and exposing webhooks or an HTTP API with auth and delivery guarantees. That requires backend and email-deliverability expertise plus hosting.
