Could you build this?
No Building a custom, cross-platform end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice, and video platform without external phone numbers requires deep cryptographic engineering and real-time signaling/media relay infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Stack: Native iOS (Swift) and Windows (C#/C++) clients integrating the Signal Protocol (libsignal) or Matrix, alongside WebRTC for peer-to-peer/SFU-routed media. Hard part: Correctly implementing cryptographic key exchange, out-of-band identity verification, secure forward secrecy, and maintaining reliable TURN/STUN media infrastructure across strict NAT/firewall environments without leaking metadata.
