Partial The iPhone UI, channel numbering and map view are vibe-codeable, but live multi-user voice with location filtering and moderation requires real-time audio infrastructure that is hard to run at scale.
What it would actually take: The app would be built in Swift with a WebRTC or similar real-time audio backend, using an SFU (e.g., LiveKit or Agora) for channel-based voice and a geospatial index for the 5 km radius. The hard parts are low-latency voice at scale, abuse and harassment moderation for an open voice network, and battery and background-audio handling on iOS, which call for real-time infrastructure experience.
