Could you build this?
Partial The developer-facing SMS API, webhooks, and integrations are standard and vibe-codeable. Real US and Canada messaging, however, requires carrier registration, 10DLC compliance, and telecom connectivity, which a solo builder cannot get from code alone.
What it would actually take: The software layer is a REST API, webhook system, delivery logging, and integrations, built on a messaging provider or carrier aggregator. The hard parts are direct carrier or aggregator agreements, regulatory compliance and campaign registration, deliverability and fraud controls, and 24/7 human support. Matching a '50% cheaper than Twilio' claim requires telecom partnerships and scale economics.
