Duolingo for geography: does it exist?

Who already tried this

What's the crossover

A streak-based daily geography habit. GeoBingo already does this as a young indie, so the open angle is a deeper course, or a region the current quiz apps skip.

Demand check

Publish a signup page for a narrow geography path, such as US counties or African capitals, and share it in the learner groups you can reach. Count signups against visits. If almost nobody signs up, the live quizzes already cover the need.

Build plan

• Start: pick a region and a fact type, such as capitals or flags, and write a starter set of items.
• Next: ship a web app with a daily quiz, a streak counter, and a map the learner taps.
• Then: add a reminder email and a simple paid plan behind a free opening unit.
• After that: invite the signup list and fix the item where people drop off.

Copy the build prompt

Build a small web app for learning geography through a daily habit. Each lesson asks the learner to pick a country, capital or flag on a map or from a short list. Track a daily streak, show progress per unit, and send a reminder email when the learner has not practiced today. Keep the opening unit free and put later units behind a paid plan. Store users, items, streaks and plan status in a database. Use plain, accessible HTML.

Risks and unknowns

• GeoBingo already ships daily geography lessons with streaks, so a general world-quiz app starts behind 3.
• GeoGuessr and Seterra already own the adjacent game and drill habits 4.
