Could you build this?
Partial The TUI interface can be vibe-coded with Ratatui, but reverse-engineering Discord's unofficial client gateway and implementing complex terminal image protocols (Sixel, Kitty) is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The app is written in Rust using Ratatui for the interface and Tokio for asynchronous networking, communicating with Discord via WebSockets and REST. It requires implementing Discord's gateway protocol (heartbeats, guild subscriptions, encryption) and integrating terminal graphics escape sequence decoders (Kitty graphics protocol, iTerm2 inline images, Sixel). The key challenge is protocol resilience against Discord's anti-bot/self-bot protections and handling fast asynchronous TUI redraws under heavy message load.
