Could you build this?

Partial The basic feed, stories, and chat are standard app patterns, but reliable media handling, moderation, and scaling on low-end networks require infrastructure experience.

What it would actually take: Build an Android client (Kotlin or Flutter) backed by a managed backend such as Firebase or Supabase, with media upload and transcoding through a CDN and real-time chat via websockets. The hard parts are video processing pipelines, content moderation and abuse prevention, and keeping the app small and fast on budget devices. Scaling to real users requires backend and trust-and-safety expertise.
