Partial The firmware and animated card UI are vibe-codeable on commodity M5Stack hardware, but flashing, display and power debugging on embedded devices and curating good vocabulary content need real embedded experience.
What it would actually take: Write ESP32-S3 firmware in Arduino or ESP-IDF using the M5Unified/M5GFX libraries, with a card-rendering engine, animation loop, and button navigation. Vocabulary decks would come from a structured data file, possibly with audio assets. The hard parts are embedded debugging on constrained memory and battery, plus pedagogically sound content for the course.
