Could you build this?
Partial The chat UI and encryption are codeable, but a mesh that relays messages phone-to-phone over Bluetooth is hard on mobile. iOS background BLE limits and routing reliability need deep platform and networking expertise.
What it would actually take: The architecture is a BLE mesh with store-and-forward routing, end-to-end encryption, and a local message database. Hard parts include iOS and Android background BLE restrictions, reliable multi-hop routing with peer discovery, and battery use. Building it takes low-level mobile networking expertise and extensive field testing across devices.
