Could you build this?
Partial The one-tap random chat UI and matching are easy to vibe-code, but a real service needs real-time matching at scale and serious moderation and safety systems for anonymous strangers.
What it would actually take: The core is a simple client plus a real-time matching backend, buildable on WebSockets with a managed service such as Firebase or Supabase. The hard parts are abuse prevention (automated and human moderation, age and harassment safeguards, bans that survive anonymity) and scaling concurrent matching, which takes trust-and-safety expertise and ongoing operations.
