Patio Unveils Duolingo for DIY Quizzes to Energize Its Tool Marketplace

Canada, 5th Jun 2025 – Patio, the community-driven DIY platform, today unveils “Duolingo for DIY” quizzes, bite-sized, gamified lessons at https://patio.so/quiz to teach essential home-improvement skills. The marketplace for sharing tools and surplus materials remains live, and a full tool-rental service will launch in the coming weeks.

“Home improvement can feel daunting if you don’t know where to begin,” says Julien Rioux, software engineer and former carpenter who founded Patio. “Our new quizzes break down topics like electrical safety and eco-friendly building practices into fun, achievable lessons. With our marketplace open and rentals coming soon, Patio becomes the one-stop hub to learn skills, source equipment, and connect with nearby DIYers.”

Key Highlights
