Read the full description
The Chinese exam changed: the new HSK 3.0 has nine levels and 11,000 words. Gushi covers all nine, in English, German, Spanish and French. Every character comes with its tone, its parts, a story that holds it and where its shape came from. Spaced repetition decides what comes back and when. Reading, listening, speaking, writing and mock exams in one app, on phone and laptop. And language schools can see how their students are doing on the Teaching Platform.

Partial The app shell, spaced repetition, and multilingual UI are buildable, but the core value is curated pedagogical content (character stories, etymology, and tone/parts data for 11,000 words in four languages), which is hard to produce without domain and linguistic expertise.
What it would actually take: Use a web and mobile app with an SRS engine (FSRS or SM-2) and a content database keyed by character and word. The hard part is creating and verifying high-quality mnemonic stories, etymology, and translations for HSK 3.0 across nine levels, which takes Chinese-teaching specialists and native-speaker review, though LLMs can draft much of it.
