Frequently asked questions
Are these for amateurs?
Yes. The prompts are designed to be doable with any camera, including phones.
Can I do these indoors?
Many are indoor-friendly — ideas built around light, texture, or pattern work anywhere.
How are prompts selected?
Each prompt is drawn using your browser's Web Crypto API, so you get a genuinely random challenge every time.
Does the tool track what I shoot?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and works offline, so nothing about your prompts or photos is sent anywhere.
