I made a thing last week and Earth Day seems like a great day to announce it. 🌏
https://Whereabouts.Earth is a fun (for me at least) app for learning the location of every country on Earth.
It uses a very effective learning technique (spaced repetition), but you don't need to know how that part works. It will work.
My geography knowledge has improved a LOT over the past week.
Join me in learning about the only home we'll ever have.
(And please share your feedback if you actually use this)
@treyhunner I love this! I previously learned all the countries of the world the other way around (I’m given the country name and I have to tap it on the map) and your app definitely helps strengthen my knowledge!
I did notice one bug where sometimes the text box doesn’t appear. Please let me know if there’s any other helpful info I can provide!
@frameadvance ack I've hit that "sometimes the text box doesn't appear" issue. It happens for me about 1 in every 100 times it's supposed to appear and I was hoping I fixed it yesterday. How often are you seeing it? And is that Safari on an iOS device?
Just FYI if it happens again: tap the map. That should bring up a "Keep going" or "Stop" prompt and if you click "Keep going" the input will appear again. At least that's worked for me each time.
I'll see if I can figure it out. It's confusing!
@treyhunner Yes, I’m on an iPad Air 3rd generation, iOS 18.7.7. And it seems to happen more often than 1 in 100 for me. (Happened first try just now, and I can confirm that your workaround did work.)
But again, my mind is boggled at how good this app is! Awesome work!
