Could you build this?

Partial A basic Rust GUI with channel and message views is vibe-codeable, but a full Discord client needs the gateway, voice and video, and Discord's end-to-end encryption, which are hard pieces that vibe coding alone won't produce, and unofficial clients also risk ToS issues.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a Rust GUI framework such as Tauri or egui, a Discord gateway and REST client with reconnect and caching logic, and a voice stack using WebRTC-style media handling and the newer E2EE voice protocol. The voice and encryption layers require real-time networking and cryptography expertise, and the project would need to manage Discord API compliance.
