Does only exist in katakana because if ッis the same as っ then what's the equivalent of in hiragana?

In hiragana you lengthen the vowel by adding letters, somewhat similar to the way English does it. ああ いい おう おお えい うう

In informal settings, like manga, it’s common to see the stretch mark used with hiragana.

っ and ッ are the same thing, just in hiragana vs katakana. It geminates the following consonant sound.

ー extends the previous vowel sound, and is usually only used in katakana. The equivalent in hiragana is to just add another vowel kana (e.g. カー is the katakana equivalent of かあ in hiragana).

ー is when the vowel is lengthened for a longer time.
