Could you build this?

Partial Chat rooms and DMs are vibe-codeable, but live audio rooms and scaled real-time messaging need WebRTC or streaming infrastructure and moderation systems that a solo builder would struggle to operate.

What it would actually take: Use a realtime backend (WebSockets or a managed service) for chat and presence, and a WebRTC SFU such as LiveKit or Agora for audio rooms. Moderation tooling, abuse prevention, and cost control on media bandwidth become the hard parts. Someone with real-time systems experience is needed once concurrency grows.
