Could you build this?
Partial The distraction-free editor, keystroke capture, and hash-chained or signed logs are all vibe-codeable. Reliably proving a human wrote the text, rather than just recording typing telemetry, is an open research problem that a generic build won't solve.
What it would actually take: Build a cross-platform editor (Electron, Tauri, or a web app) that logs timestamped input events and chains them with hashes, signed with a device key, and anchored to a public timestamp service. The hard part is the authorship claim: distinguishing human typing from paste, replay, or simulated input needs behavioral-biometrics research, labeled datasets of human and machine typing, and careful threat modeling. That requires security and ML expertise plus data collection.
