I Built This AI Platform Because School Was Boring and My Brain Deserved Better 😤

#ai

Hey you. Yeah, you reading this.

Lemme guess—you’re supposed to be studying but ended up here instead? Cute.

Don’t worry, I was the same. Except instead of actually studying, I built my own platform. Because traditional learning felt like a 56k modem—slow, loud, and emotionally damaging.

So I said, “What if I made something for people like me—sleep-deprived, slightly sarcastic, but secretly obsessed with learning cool stuff?”

Thus, Nexix was born.


🎯 What the Heck is Nexix?

Nexix is your AI-powered, Gen Z-approved, starry-night-styled learning bestie.

We cover everything from black holes to Beethoven.

Math, science, psychology, tech, history—everything but your ex.

(That’s one lesson you’ll have to learn the hard way.)

And yeah, it runs fast. Like “your crush left you on read in 0.3s” fast.

Thanks, Groq.


🛠️ I Built This with a Vibe-Checked Stack

Built with 💅 and free-tier hustle:

  • Frontend: Tailwind (because I’m not about to write CSS from scratch, be serious)
  • Backend: Cloudflare (cheap, fast, mysterious—just like me)
  • Database: Xata (no drama, just vibes)
  • Cache: Upstash Redis (because I don’t like waiting)
  • AI Brain: Groq (faster than your average overthinker)
  • Hosting: Netlify + Vercel duo
  • Uptime: Betterstack keeps things awake, unlike you during math class

🤡 The Dev Struggles Were Real

  • Debugged a layout bug for 3 hours. It was a rogue <div>.
  • Accidentally ran a function 100,000 times. Redis is now in therapy.
  • UI looked good until I opened it on my mom’s 2014 phone—💀💀💀
  • Logged my password to console. Cried. Then changed it to something even worse.

💬 Real Talk: Why Should You Try Nexix?

  • You're tired of platforms that treat learning like a tax form.
  • You want answers now, not after a 10-minute intro video.
  • You like your learning spicy—with AI that talks back a little.
  • You want to learn without being judged for still being in pajamas at 2PM.

“But what subjects do you support?”

From quantum physics to conspiracy theories (just kidding... maybe), Nexix covers:

  • Science
  • Math
  • Psych
  • History
  • Tech
  • And vibes.

No fluff. No signup. No ✨$29.99 a month✨ nonsense.

Just you, the AI.


🔮 What’s Next?

I’m cooking:

  • A premium version that actually feels worth it (not just locking features to be annoying)
  • Community question voting — if enough people ask it, it becomes public
  • EQ + IQ leveling systems — because intelligence isn’t just numbers

💅 Try It. Roast It. Marry It. (Okay maybe not that last one.)

👉 nexix.

Zero commitments. Full chaos. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll accidentally learn something.

And if you break it, tell me. I’ll fix it (after blaming Redis and pretending it was intentional).


Built with code, caffeine, and petty motivation.

Peace ✌️
