Could you build this?
Partial A cross-platform knowledge dashboard is standard, but Nessie hooks into background sessions across dozens of separate tools (Claude Code, Cursor, terminal tools, ChatGPT, local IDEs) to capture and maintain live shared state.
What it would actually take: Requires a native desktop daemon (Rust/macOS Swift) interfacing with local app data stores, sqlite databases, browser history/local storage, and terminal logs for various developer tools (Claude Code CLI, Cursor, Codex). The hard technical problem is reverse-engineering or integrating with disparate local session logs without official APIs, running diffing/sync algorithms without causing file locks or race conditions, and continuous semantic clustering. Demands local systems programming and IPC engineering expertise.
