Can I vibe code Brilliant?

Yes

A prompt to build your own version of Brilliant

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Brilliant-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people learning math through short, hands-on lessons. Start with beginner fractions only. The main screen should show a friendly lesson list with progress marks and a clear Continue button. Tapping a lesson opens short explanations followed by interactive questions. Include answer choices and a fraction diagram where learners move a slider to change the shaded portion. Add a Hint button and explain why an answer is right or wrong after submission. Save completed lessons on the device so progress stays after closing the app. Use a clean cream background, dark text, green accents and large touch targets. Include realistic, original sample lessons with correct answers and clear explanations. Keep everything local for this first version.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Brilliant won't have

Brilliant provides an expert written STEM curriculum refined through learner use, not just the tools to build lessons.

  • Brilliant's original STEM course content
  • Brilliant's learner performance data
  • Brilliant's curriculum development team

Questions about vibe coding Brilliant

Can I vibe code Brilliant?

Yes, you can build interactive lessons, quizzes and progress tracking, starting with one topic. You can build short lessons where people solve problems, move diagrams and get feedback. Start with one subject and original lesson content. A coding course can begin with code-reading puzzles rather than running learners' code.

How long does it take to build an app like Brilliant?

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a lesson list for one beginner math topic; an interactive lesson with answer choices, a movable diagram and written hints; lesson completion saved on the device. Plan on an afternoon for a working first version with its real features.

How much does it cost to build your own version of Brilliant?

Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Brilliant, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).

What can't you copy from Brilliant?

Brilliant provides an expert written STEM curriculum refined through learner use, not just the tools to build lessons. A version you build yourself won't have these: Brilliant's original STEM course content; Brilliant's learner performance data; Brilliant's curriculum development team.
