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&#39;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&#39;ll ever have. (And please share your feedback if you actually use this)

@treyhunner@mastodon.social 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!

@treyhunner@mastodon.social my wife got annoyed by all the countries she still thinks of as Yugoslavia and kindly requests a version that uses maps from the 1980s please 😅

@treyhunner@mastodon.social the most minor thing, but you asked for feedback: Antarctica has a rendering issue for me

@treyhunner@mastodon.social, this is fantastic. I played it just now and thoroughly enjoyed it. Is this built with a framework that could be mastered by Python beginners? I teach a beginner Python course to students in a library and information science masters program. They each choose their own final project. This is the kind of learning game that many of them would like to create as their final project. Is it built with tools that a beginner could master at the end of a Python course?

@treyhunner@mastodon.social That’s so cool, is it open source? Would love to see how you did it :)
