No Anonymous peer support is buildable as a chat and voice platform, but a real version needs licensed clinicians, crisis-escalation protocols, and mental health regulation across Kenya and other countries, which vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: The stack is standard: anonymous auth, real-time chat and voice (WebRTC), and an AI companion layer. The hard parts are clinical safety design, a credentialed therapist network, crisis triage and escalation, and compliance with Kenyan health and data-protection law. Building it responsibly requires clinical psychologists, legal and regulatory counsel, and trust-and-safety operations.
