Help me build the next local monero

Hello folks, i don't know if you knew localmonero, localbitcoin or agora desk, they where a p2p crypto exchanges built by the same people on php.

They got (as one of the prime reasons) shutdown by the feds, and that left a gap in the market that i want to fill, this time i want to build it using rust.
I want it to be very minimal, secure, no-fronend.

It will be a place where people can post offers to buy and sell monero, and there will need to be escrow and account functionality.

I'm a one guy team, i have a couple thousand to spend, good programming skills (never coded anything in rust, but did C in the past), and i need you people expertise to decide if i should use actix web or write everything in pure rust. I have written a prototype in actix web in 3 months but that got me thinking if i should write everything in pure rust.

I also want to finish everything in around a year.

What do you guys think i should do to achieve my goal? Also, are there any good projects that i can copy?

Anything that you say will be very helpful, thank you very much.

Actix-web is pure Rust. If you meant to say you want to build a HTTP server from scratch using raw TCP sockets, why bother? Tremendous work has been done to get proper HTTP stacks in Rust, including actix's set of libraries, why not build on top of the expertise and work done by incredibly smart people?
