Description
GrowsChat is a random chat platform built on one rule: AI is always disclosed, never pretending to be human. No account needed to start a conversation. Every video call includes a safety check, and one tap ends a conversation that's gone wrong. Built solo after a first version taught hard lessons about cost and trust. V2 is rebuilt from scratch with honesty, low friction, and safety as defaults, not features.

Could you build this?
Partial Basic WebRTC 1-on-1 random video chat is simple to build, but real-time video safety moderation requires specialized computer vision pipelines and substantial WebRTC infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Needs a scalable WebRTC SFU/signaling mesh (e.g., LiveKit or Janus) paired with asynchronous frame extraction pipelines for real-time NSFW/safety screening. The hard part is low-latency automated image moderation (under 500ms) on live video streams at high concurrency without incurring massive server/GPU costs, alongside abuse/bot prevention systems.
