Could you build this?

Partial While the mobile app and translation integration are straightforward, maintaining reliable real-time scrapers/ingestion pipelines across numerous fragmented municipal and emergency Swedish government feeds is non-trivial.

What it would actually take: A production backend requires robust data scrapers/ingestion workers connecting to Swedish Police RSS/APIs, SMHI alerts, and Trafikverket APIs. It needs a pipeline with deduplication, entity extraction, and translation caching via DeepL API, backed by PostgreSQL/PostGIS for geo-fencing notifications. The primary complexity lies in resilient scraping, schema normalization, and rate/reliability management across disparate public service endpoints.
