Day Five: Lightning Speed with Gemini 3.0 Flash
"Having the most productive day ever thanks to Gemini 3.0 flash. Just lightning fast and so good."
That was the tweet from our founder this morning, and the results speak for themselves. When we started NerdSip, we knew we wanted to move fast, but the pace we've hit today is something else entirely. With Gemini 3.0 Flash, it's just prompt, ten seconds later test, prompt again. Over and over and over. And most of the stuff is done in one shot!
Today's Achievements: A Massive Leap Forward
We didn't just tweak a few buttons today; we essentially rebuilt the core experience of the app. Here's the breakdown of what went live in the last 24 hours:
- UI Overhaul: Re-designed the app home page and bottom navigation bar for a smoother, more intuitive experience.
- Course Discovery: Re-designed the "Explore Courses" page and implemented smart filters to find and browse existing content.
- Gamification Engine: Launched the rolling weekly leaderboard functionality and a comprehensive XP system to keep learners motivated.
- Personal History: 90% re-worked the history function, making it easier to track and revisit past courses.
- Monetization & Legal: Implemented the paywall screen, pricing concepts, and re-styled the settings page including terms and withdrawal policies.
Backend Magic: It's not just about the UI. Under the hood, we've implemented compound indexing, infinite scroll pagination, and smart course suggestion ranking algorithms. We even have backend housekeeping workers running at defined intervals to calculate scores and keep the system humming.
The 1-Shot Revolution
The most incredible part of this journey is the efficiency. Sure, there are some small design tweaks needed here and there, but the model almost always understands exactly what we want. If it continues at this pace, we might actually need to start dictating prompts just to keep up with the output.
We're building this with one goal in mind: to go viral and change how the world learns. Every line of code is optimized for responsiveness and snappiness, reducing egress and compute on our servers while providing a premium feel for the user.
What's Next?
We aren't slowing down. The roadmap for the next few days is already packed:
- RevenueCat: Full monetization implementation.
- Social System: Adding friends, chat, and a social feed (e.g., "XY completed a course on Z").
- Deep Gamification: This is the big one. We're going all-in on making learning as addictive as your favorite game.
Gemini 3.0 Flash is, without a doubt, the best model on the market for this kind of rapid-fire development. It's our secret weapon.
A humorous post from one of our founders:
Duolingo has 200 million active users. Daily.

I am going for all of them. Every single one.
I am completely delusional.
My wait list has 16 users.
I am planning to convert 100%.
199.999.984 to go.
