Could you build this?
No Modifying the closed-source Steam desktop client requires native binary hooking, DLL injection, Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) debugger interception, and embedded LuaJIT/TypeScript runtimes.
What it would actually take: Millennium requires low-level C++ injection techniques to hook into the running Steam process on Windows/Linux, hooking internal CEF remote debugging ports to inject custom CSS/JS, and hosting a dual LuaJIT and V8/Node runtime to bridge custom client plugins with the Steam UI. Deep knowledge of reverse engineering, memory patching, and undocumented IPC protocols is required.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
