about
A small personal project
Interactive quizzes with no ads, accounts or trackers — just a map, typing and your memory.
Why
I like tests where you have to recall everything yourself instead of picking one of four options. Map quizzes are the most honest format: you see not only how many places you know, but which ones. Hence the main rule: named places light up, missed ones stay empty.
How it is built
This is a static site: Vite and TypeScript, no frameworks or runtime libraries. The map is a pre-generated SVG in the Natural Earth projection; country data sits next to it as JSON. Pages load fast, work offline after the first visit and need no backend.
- map: Natural Earth 1:110m, SVG paths plus dots for small countries;
- names and codes: world-countries, English and Russian aliases;
- flags: flag-icons (MIT);
- records and theme:
localStorageonly, no cookies.
What is next
Russian regions, US states, capitals, flags, country silhouettes, a daily quiz and metro maps. Sections will appear gradually — watch the geography page.
