Dev builds a 3D patent museum site with Three.js physics in ~2 hours using Gemini Flash

Developer doodlestein wanted to try Gemini 3.7 Flash without risking serious projects, so he built Classic Patents in 2 hours: a historical patent museum featuring Wright brothers flight control, Tesla's AC induction motor, and Wozniak's Apple II, with archival transcripts, plain-English engineering explanations, and real-time Three.js 3D physics simulations. He notes it's amazing what you can do now — and that such projects make a great model benchmark.
