Why Explore the Flags Exists If The InfoDump LLC were some mega-corporation, this would be a lifelong subscription that requires a shrubbery to cancel. It is not. It is a dad named Jamal. His son is hyperfixated on flags. When Jamal went looking for an app to feed that love, every option was a mess of ads, pop-ups, and "unlock the rest for $9.99/month." So he built the one his son actually deserved. One day his son, who is autistic and emerging-verbal, was zoomed way in on the map, tapping a tiny speck of an island, but nothing came up. He looked at his dad and asked, "Dad, what about South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands?" Jamal had to Google it, and his son was right. Not only was it a real place; it was the exact island he had been tapping. So Jamal added it. That is how this app grows: one curious question at a time. Sometimes the kid teaches the dad. Pay once. Yours forever. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking, ever.
