About Whereabouts

How it works

A country appears highlighted on the map. You name it. If you get it right, the app schedules it further out. If you get it wrong, it comes back sooner.

This is spaced repetition: the idea that the best time to review something is right before you'd forget it. Instead of cramming, you learn a few countries at a time and revisit them at increasing intervals.

The logo

The logo is a crescent Earth, inspired by NASA's Artemis II mission.

Who made this

This was built by Trey Hunner to get better at the daily Globle geography game and to learn a bit more about Earth, the only home we'll ever know. Curious what it's built with? See the colophon.

"The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand."
