Could you build this?
Partial The feed, DMs, and WebRTC calling UI are vibe-codeable with existing libraries, but a real private network needs correct end-to-end encryption, TURN/NAT traversal, moderation, and scale infrastructure that a solo builder would struggle to get right.
What it would actually take: Use a standard stack: a mobile or web client, the Signal protocol (libsignal) for E2E DMs, and WebRTC with self-hosted TURN/STUN for calls. Backend needs a message relay that cannot read content, plus abuse and moderation tooling. The hard parts are cryptographic correctness (ideally audited), reliable real-time media across NATs at scale, and privacy-preserving spam and abuse controls, which call for security and distributed-systems engineers.
