Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and ranking UI are easy to vibe-code, but the product depends on a continuous pipeline of real buyer reviews and signals. Collecting and credibly weighting that data at scale is the hard part.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a scraping and ingestion pipeline for review sites, Reddit, and social posts, with NLP classification to tag complaints, reasons, and alternatives. The hard part is sustained high-volume data collection that survives anti-bot measures, plus deduplication and signal weighting that makes the rankings trustworthy.
