Could you build this?
Partial While expense splitting algorithms and local UI are simple, building peer-to-peer encrypted sync via Nostr relays or Google Nearby Connections with conflict-free offline reconciliation is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: A production version uses Kotlin/Jetpack Compose with an offline-first SQLite/Room database governed by CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for state merge without a centralized backend. Synchronization utilizes cryptographic key pairs (secp256k1) publishing encrypted events to distributed Nostr relays and direct Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections via Nearby Connections API. The primary challenge is implementing robust multi-device peer-to-peer sync with end-to-end encryption and resolving asynchronous out-of-order expense mutations without data corruption.
