Could you build this?
No Telegram clients require complex implementation of MTProto encryption, massive real-time state synchronization, and media streaming, which cannot be vibe-coded from scratch.
What it would actually take: Developing an unofficial Telegram client typically involves forking Telegram's massive C++/Qt (desktop) or Kotlin/Swift (mobile) codebases or building against TDLib (Telegram Database Library). TDLib handles MTProto 2.0 wire protocol, cryptographic handshakes, local SQLite caching, and complex chat event loops. Even with TDLib, customizing UI architecture (chat hierarchy, themes, custom folder logic) requires deep knowledge of native GUI frameworks, concurrency, and Telegram's data structures.
