Could you build this?
Partial The online social app (posts, chat, calls, marketplace) is standard. Offline messaging over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi mesh across phones is hard to make reliable and is platform-constrained.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a native mobile stack with BLE and Wi-Fi Direct or Multipeer Connectivity, plus a store-and-forward mesh protocol with encryption, routing, and message deduplication. The online half can be built with standard backend services and WebRTC for calls. The offline mesh is the hard part and requires networking and mobile-platform expertise, and iOS restricts background radio use.
