Could you build this?
Partial A web and iOS chat interface with phone-number discovery is standard, but building secure, audited end-to-end encryption with multi-device sync is not vibe-codeable.
What it would actually take: A secure cross-platform messaging app requires a real-time backend (WebSockets/Elixir or Go) paired with a robust cryptographic protocol such as the Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet with Sesame) or MLS for group encryption. The difficult challenges involve zero-knowledge contact discovery by phone hash, multi-device key agreement across web and iOS, and reliable encrypted push notifications without leaking metadata. It requires specialized cryptographic and mobile systems engineering.
