Could you build this?

Partial The chat UI, groups, status, and disappearing-photo features are vibe-codeable, but a trustworthy private messenger needs a vetted end-to-end encryption protocol, secure key management, and call infrastructure that vibe coding alone won't produce.

What it would actually take: Build on Android (Kotlin) with a backend such as XMPP or a custom WebSocket service, and adopt an existing audited E2E protocol like the Signal protocol rather than inventing one. Voice and video calls need WebRTC with TURN/SFU servers at scale. Security review and a cryptography engineer are needed to avoid leaks such as metadata exposure or flawed screenshot detection.
