Could you build this?
Partial The chat UI and anonymous display names are easy, but serverless multi-hop Bluetooth mesh messaging with encryption across iOS and Android is hard to get reliable.
What it would actually take: Native mobile apps (Swift and Kotlin) using BLE advertising and GATT, plus a store-and-forward mesh routing layer and end-to-end encryption. The hard parts are OS background restrictions, BLE throughput and range limits, and cross-platform interoperability, which need someone with mobile networking and low-level Bluetooth experience.
