The pomegranate of Helebce, queen of Kurdistan's orchards

iOS app · زانیاری
Short, sourced and illustrated stories about Kurdish history, culture and figures. A minute each, in five languages.

The guided tour
01
Open the app and a story is waiting: short, sourced, illustrated. One commute later, you know something you didn't this morning.
02
Every story links to its sources, its places and its neighbours. You come for one, you leave with five.
03
Every place mentioned is pinned. Amed, Lalish, Halgurd: what you read exists somewhere, and you can go there.
04
Quizzes pick up what you've read. That's where skimming and remembering part ways.
A sample
Seven stories drawn at random from fifty-eight. Draw again as often as you like.

The feed
Beyond the stories, the app runs a feed: where to go, what to listen to, who to know.

Five languages
Every story is translated into Kurmanji and Sorani. Few apps bother; it is the least one can do when the subject is Kurdistan.
