Hey guys - Just wanted to share what we've been working on and get feedback from the HN community.

Pictorious is a fun, new game that inspires people to take awesome photos and challenge their friends to do the same. We're still very much in learning and iterating mode so welcome any and all feedback on this project.

We place a heavy emphasis on sleek design, performance and, of course, fun. We built the app using Objective-C, Node.js and MongoDB. We've also built out a REST API for our partners to pull in photos and other relevant data.

Coming soon: create your own challenges, better photo browsing and deeper game mechanics.

Albert: i like some of the subtleties in the app like picture flip and smart scrolling. I think you guys can find a better way to display the comment/share buttons that improves the UI and keeps the focus on the image.

In general, I like that this isn't just another photo-sharing app - its a fun game that everyone can play and will result in people taking great pictures.

I participated in #Nice Kicks challenge :)
