Never built for mobile, a parent of three, a busy life. Gemini guided the Kotlin architecture and the UI, and their first Android app was a real joy to build. Impossible a couple of years ago, they say.

Built their first Android app for a specific need over the holidays. Gemini helped them set up a Kotlin app with a sensible architecture, including dependency injection with Hilt, find the right Material3 components, and lay out a UI that looks decent despite their lack of design skills.
It took less than a dozen hours and was a real joy to build. As a parent of three with a busy life, they say it would simply have been impossible a couple of years ago.
I'm an experienced [language] developer but new to Android. Help me build an app that [does X]. Set up a Kotlin project with a sensible architecture (dependency injection, a clear split between UI and data), use Material 3 components, and explain each choice briefly. Build it screen by screen so I can run it on my phone as we go.
