Could you build this?
Partial Building individual components is easy, but engineering a production-grade, accessible, headless design system that compiles seamlessly across both React DOM and React Native primitives requires extensive cross-platform design systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The project requires a monorepo setup (e.g., Turborepo) managing multi-package distribution with React Native Web, Tamagui, or custom Tailwind-style engines. The difficult aspect is creating a unified, performant accessibility layer (WAI-ARIA mapped to iOS/Android accessibility APIs), maintaining synchronous styling performance across native and web runtimes, and preventing style recalculation overhead on complex components. It requires seasoned cross-platform design systems and React Native internals expertise.
