Now hear me out, there are some apps that are more or less just study guides but I was thinking of something like Duolingo that could handle math inputs up to like calculus levels. I know this is possible because sites like symbolab, Wolfram and even the testing and homework software the schools use can decipher complex functions and determine if they're correct.

How come no one has made a gamified math tool for people at the college level? One reason ive heard said is "noone is interested" but... Money is very interesting and I know plenty of college students would be drooling for an app like this.

So I'm just asking you all, what do you think would be the big holdout for you as a developer to not take on a project like this. Why do you think no one's made it?
