Partial The social logbook and tail pages are vibe-codeable, but accurate aircraft type data, registration lookups, and licensed photos depend on data sources that a solo builder would have to acquire.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a mobile app plus backend, with a database of aircraft registrations and types drawn from national registries or commercial datasets. Photo recognition or manual tagging workflows, image moderation, and licensing for photos and specs are the hard parts. Data licensing and curation matter more than coding skill.
