Feasibility Study: Cross-Platform Libretro Core with API Integration and Local File Handling

---

---

We are seeking an experienced software developer to conduct a feasibility study for a cross-platform application utilizing the Libretro API. It may require a custom core with a "game" that holds the actual functionality. The application aims to perform the following functions: User Authentication: Implement a secure login mechanism to authenticate users via an external API. Content Retrieval: Fetch and display a list of content items from a remote server using API calls. QR Code Generation: Generate QR codes dynamically based on the retrieved content, facilitating external interactions. File Download: Enable users to download selected content files to the device's local file system. Key Considerations: Cross-Platform Compatibility: The solution should be compatible with various devices, including handheld consoles and Android-based systems. Resource Constraints: The application must operate efficiently within environments with limited system resources. Minimal Dependencies: Preference for solutions that minimize external dependencies to ensure broad compatibility. Security: While the application does not handle purchases, it should securely manage user authentication and data handling. Deliverables: A detailed feasibility report outlining: Technical requirements and potential challenges. Recommended technologies and frameworks. Estimated development timeframes and resource allocation. Potential limitations and mitigation strategies. Estimated cost of such a project. Ideal Candidate: Proficient in C/C++ with experience in embedded systems development. Familiarity with the Libretro API and core development. If you actually read the entire post, please include the word pineapple in your response. Experience with API integration and handling HTTP requests in constrained environments. Experience with QR code generation libraries suitable for embedded applications. Understanding of cross-platform development challenges and solutions. Please provide examples of similar projects you've undertaken, particularly those involving Libretro core development, embedded systems, or cross-platform applications. We look forward to your insights on the feasibility of this project.
