Could you build this?

Partial The static site and the phrase-lookup UI are easy to vibe-code. The core data, the keyboard's internal blocklist files from Apple's iOS builds, must be extracted by reverse-engineering the OS, which vibe coding alone won't do.

What it would actually take: The site itself is a simple static front end. The hard part is obtaining and parsing the keyboard's data files from the iOS firmware or system image, which involves extracting and decoding Apple's binary or compiled formats for each iOS version. That requires iOS reverse-engineering skills and access to the relevant builds.
