Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team who can write engaging content and build a web app; sells to students, history buffs, and schools wanting fresh learning tools

How to build it
1. Pick one high-demand history niche (e.g., West African kingdoms, Nigerian independence, Ancient Egypt) with passionate audiences—avoid trying to cover all history 2. Build a simple web app: timeline UI + interactive quiz/branching narratives + progress tracking; start with 5–10 hours of curated, original content 3. Launch free tier with 1–2 full stories; gate premium stories behind paywall or subscription; use Stripe for one-time purchases or monthly access 4. Drive users via TikTok/YouTube shorts showing 60-second history 'aha moments'; target students prepping for exams and history enthusiasts in English-speaking markets 5. Scale revenue by adding teacher dashboards (class assignments, student tracking) and selling annual institutional licenses to schools
