Could you build this?

Partial File browsing, previews, tags, and keyboard control are vibe-codeable, but a GPU-accelerated native UI in Rust across three operating systems needs systems-level graphics and platform expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version would be a Rust app using a GPU rendering layer such as wgpu, with native filesystem and OS integration on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Getting smooth rendering, correct file-system edge cases, and platform-specific packaging requires systems programming experience beyond what vibe coding alone reliably delivers.
