Could you build this?
Partial While social feeds and basic video recording can be vibe-coded, multi-track audio synchronization and automated video grid composite rendering at scale require specialized media processing.
What it would actually take: The system needs native iOS/Android audio pipelines using low-latency audio frameworks (CoreAudio/Oboe) with precise latency compensation to align tracks. Backend processing requires an FFmpeg-based pipeline running on cloud workers or WebAssembly to dynamically mix multiple audio tracks and render synchronized multi-pane video grids. The primary hurdles are handling variable device latency, drift correction, and scalable video encoding infrastructure.
