Could you build this?
Partial The web UI and AST parsing CLI are straightforward, but building a production-grade converter requires cataloging and maintaining over a thousand verified, deterministic component/prop AST transform rules and behavioral edge cases.
What it would actually take: Requires building an AST transformation engine (using Babel, TS-Morph, or SWC) with a comprehensive declarative rule schema mapping component hierarchies, JSX props, event emitters, and CSS abstractions between 7+ distinct UI ecosystems. The bottleneck is the painstaking manual labor and deep comparative expertise across React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte component APIs to capture behavioral gotchas deterministically.
