Could you build this?

Partial The timeline editor, narration recording, and UI are standard web or desktop work, but reliable cross-platform screen capture, audio sync, and video encoding performance are hard to get right without systems-level experience.

What it would actually take: A real version would likely combine an Electron or native shell with OS screen-capture APIs (Windows Graphics Capture, ScreenCaptureKit), a WebRTC or ffmpeg capture pipeline, and a canvas or WebGL timeline editor. The hard parts are low-latency capture, A/V sync, and export performance, which need multimedia and OS-level engineering experience.
