I had to rebuild my app from scratch to ensure a sustainable solution

As I delved deeper into developing Word Buddy, I encountered a significant challenge: frequent database calls to Firebase, which would incur exorbitant costs as the user base grew. Realizing the unsustainability of this approach, I made the decision to rebuild the entire backend infrastructure, storing all data directly on the user's device to eliminate the need for constant data retrieval. However, this introduced the complexity of working with JSON formats, requiring extensive custom coding. To my surprise, I found a powerful ally in GPT, which not only wrote around 90% of the code for me but also assisted in error detection and syntax correction. What a lifesaver!
