Partial Anonymous chat rooms and prompt-based matching are standard real-time UI work. Proximity features, moderation at scale, and abuse or safety handling for strangers are the hard parts.
What it would actually take: Build on a real-time stack (WebSockets or a managed service like Supabase or Ably) with room and matching logic. The difficult parts are trust and safety: automated and human moderation, abuse reporting, and privacy-preserving location handling for nearby users. Running this at scale needs trust-and-safety expertise and operational staff, and a poorly moderated stranger-chat app carries serious legal risk.
