Could you build this?
Partial The web UI and microphone capture are easy to vibe-code. Matching a hummed melody to songs needs a large melody or fingerprint database and pitch-matching algorithms that a solo builder cannot assemble from scratch.
What it would actually take: Capture audio in the browser, extract pitch contour with an algorithm such as pYIN, and match against a melody index built from licensed catalog audio or MIDI. Existing recognition APIs (ACRCloud, Audd) can cover recorded-music ID but may not handle sung or hummed queries well. The hard part is building and licensing a large searchable melody corpus and tuning robust query-by-humming matching, which needs audio signal processing and information retrieval expertise.
