Could you build this?
Partial The chat UI, stickers, and doodles are buildable, but a real messenger needs reliable real-time delivery, mobile apps, and security infrastructure that vibe coding alone won't deliver.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a real-time backend (WebSockets or a managed service like Firebase or Pusher), a message store, push notifications, and native iOS and Android clients. Encryption, offline sync, and scaling to many concurrent connections require distributed-systems and security expertise.
