Background
With an ongoing pandemic, and my son's recent interest in a similar Geography quiz app, I wanted something that could help him get introduced to the various states of India.
I wanted something that we could put on a Fire TV Stick and also improve his understanding of Geography over time. It isn't fully ready but something that I could hack together quickly.
How I built it
I've used DigitalOcean before but the App Platform was new. Was happy to see a seamless experience to deploy a static website to production.
I wanted to build something in React since it is also something that I now use at work. The 10 foot experience introduces some new challenges but was made much more simpler thanks to all the OSS products out there.
Additional Resources/Info
- Built using this amazing template for building fire tv apps
