I have a couple of friends that are also into photography, we try to meet up on a regular basis and take pictures. We soon realised that we need themes, and we did not find an easy solution to the problem. So I sat down one weekend and created challenge.camera. The site has been up since mid-2019, and has seen some traffic. To make it even easier, I decided to make an app that links to the webpage, and here it is!
