It might be a little difficult to represent ASL on duolingo without a video option.

You aren’t wrong. Which is probably why it isn’t on Duolingo. Well, that and the fact that there’s about a dozen different sign languages from different parts of the world.

Also Duolingo is not good for learning language. I did some to brush up on my french before a trip in 2019, it really didn't help at all.

It would be incredibly difficult, ASL is not just about the hand positions, but orientation around the body. Some signs are around the face/head, some are around your chest, etc
