Could you build this?

Partial The random-matching text and video chat UI is easy to vibe-code with WebRTC and a signaling server, but a real version needs real-time matching at scale and serious trust-and-safety moderation for abuse and illegal content.

What it would actually take: The core stack is WebRTC for video, a WebSocket matchmaking server, and a queue for pairing users, all of which an AI assistant can scaffold. The hard parts are scalable TURN/SFU infrastructure and moderation: automated abuse and nudity detection, reporting workflows, and legal compliance. Running this responsibly takes trust-and-safety and ops expertise, not just code.
