Could you build this?

Partial Building a TUI shell with Ratatui is straightforward, but fully reverse-engineering Discord's Gateway WebSockets, custom voice protocol (WebRTC/RTP with Opus and sodium crypto), and avoiding bans is technically demanding.

What it would actually take: The client requires a terminal UI framework (like Ratatui in Rust or Bubbletea in Go) paired with an async client for Discord's REST and WebSocket Gateway APIs. The tricky component is voice chat support: establishing UDP/WebRTC connections, handling Discord's proprietary voice handshake, encryption (XSalsa20/Poly1305), and real-time Opus encoding/decoding for terminal audio. This requires systems-level networking and audio protocol reverse-engineering skills.
