Duolingo, but for knowing your rights
Already built this?
Show what you made. Add your app to this idea.
Five minutes a day of practical legal literacy, built as short scenarios rather
than chapters. The police stop you and ask to search your bag. Your landlord
keeps the deposit. A shop refuses a refund. You pick what you'd do, and find out
what you were actually entitled to.
Most people learn their rights in the middle of needing them, which is the
worst possible moment. This front-loads it while nothing is at stake.
The hard part is jurisdiction. Rights differ by country, often by state or
canton, and an app that is confidently wrong about a police stop is worse than
no app. It has to be built one jurisdiction at a time, with a visible source
behind every answer and a lawyer who checks it.
It also has to be honest about its own limits. Every scenario should end with
where the general rule stops and where you need an actual lawyer — otherwise
you've built something that talks people out of getting help.
Start with tenancy and consumer rights in one country. Those are the situations
people hit most, the rules are stable, and being wrong costs money rather than
liberty.
- Pricing thoughts
- Free core, like Duolingo — legal literacy behind a paywall defeats the point. $5/mo for jurisdictions beyond your own, useful for anyone who moved country. Cities and tenant unions might pay to sponsor a jurisdiction outright.

Build duolingo, but for knowing your rights. Context: Five minutes a day of practical legal literacy, built as short scenarios rather than chapters. The police stop you and ask to search your bag. Your landlord keeps the deposit. A shop refuses a refund. You pick what you'd do, and find out what you were actually entitled to. Most people learn their rights in the middle of needing them, which is the worst possible moment. This front-loads it while nothing is at stake. The hard part is jurisdiction. Rights differ by country, often by state or canton, and an app that is confidently wrong about a police stop is worse than no app. It has to be built one jurisdiction at a time, with a visible source behind every answer and a lawyer who checks it. It also has to be honest about its own limits. Every scenario should end with where the general rule stops and where you need an actual lawyer — otherwise you've built something that talks people out of getting help. Start with tenancy and consumer rights in one country. Those are the situations people hit most, the rules are stable, and being wrong costs money rather than liberty. Requirements: - Ship the smallest version that delivers the core value above, nothing more. - Pick a stack you can deploy in a day, and state the choice before writing code. - Handle the empty state, the error state and the offline case explicitly. - Pricing to build toward: Free core, like Duolingo — legal literacy behind a paywall defeats the point. $5/mo for jurisdictions beyond your own, useful for anyone who moved country. Cities and tenant unions might pay to sponsor a jurisdiction outright. Start by listing the screens, then build them one at a time.
