Could you build this?
Partial A basic browser-based WebCrypto messaging chat is vibe-codeable, but robust metadata privacy, decentralized peer-to-peer relaying, and secure key lifecycle management without central identities require serious cryptographic architecture.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a decentralized transport protocol (such as Waku, Matrix, or libp2p) combined with signal-grade E2EE (Double Ratchet via WebCrypto/Wasm) and onion-routed relays to prevent traffic analysis and metadata leakage. The hard part is metadata resistance (hiding IP addresses, timing, and communication graphs) at scale without a central trusting server. Building this safely demands deep cryptographic systems engineering and distributed networks expertise.
