Could you build this?
Partial A Rust app for annotation, screenshots, and recording is buildable with AI help. Wayland's security model makes capture, screen freezing, and recording hard to do reliably across compositors, and OCR and redaction add complexity.
What it would actually take: The stack would be Rust with GTK or Qt for the editor, the xdg-desktop-portal screenshot and ScreenCast interfaces, PipeWire for recording and system audio, and an OCR engine such as Tesseract. The hard parts are compositor-specific behavior across GNOME, KDE, and wlroots, freezing the screen, and smooth scrolling capture. That calls for engineers with Wayland and graphics-stack experience and extensive testing across distributions.
