The Opportunity

Problem

Coursera's mobile app crashes during quizzes, preventing students from studying effectively on the go.

Solution

QuizFortress creates a personalized PWA where users recreate quizzes manually or via simple copy-paste, running in a locked, full-screen mode optimized for mobile stability. It includes anti-distraction features and auto-progress save, replacing the unreliable Coursera app for on-the-go sessions. Perfect for short breaks with no data dependency.

Target Audience

Busy students enrolled in online courses on platforms like Coursera who depend on mobile apps for studying during commutes or short breaks.

Differentiator

Distraction-locking kiosk mode + mobile-first UI that outperforms native apps.
