His Freemium History App Earns $1000 Per Month

Wes Vance posts on HackerNews…

I built explorehere.app to help you learn about the history of the world around you by sending a push notification whenever you pass a new historical marker on your travels!

It’s a freemium app with a pro subscription for advanced features; our revenue is just under $1k/month.

Cool app, been around since 2021.

Can’t help but notice though that it only serves the US market.

I’m thinking a similar app could do even better in other parts of the world, many of which have way more (and better-preserved) historical markers.

You could start by building it for a big city with a rich history, like London.

If that gets a good response, expand.
