We’re ready to launch the August Photoblogging Challenge. The prompt for Day 1 is:

up

This suggestion comes from @LJPUK. Thanks, Lee!

A week’s worth of prompts has been added to the original post. The order was randomly selected.

(If you want to use a hashtag, use #mbaug.)

@macgenie Hi. Great to see the first set of themes for the Photoblogging Challenge.

I created a calendar to help me keep track of the themes, and I thought I might share it. Not sure if that’s something that anyone would be interested in, and not sure too about how it would work with all the different time zones of the community. Anyway, if you’d like to subscribe to it, it’s hosted at my Fastmail account.

#mbaug calendar. Hope it works.

@maique it worked 🙌🏼

@Gabz Timezone is set to Lisbon, is that working for you ?

@maique ah! I see, first picture is showing as “today” the 31st for me

@vincent About an hour ago. Though now looking at it, it seems some of my editing changes didn’t stick.

@Gabz Hmmmm... Here it’s Aug 1, since 10 mins ago. Not sure how I can make that work for everyone, that was my biggest doubt while making this. I wonder if there’s a way to fix it, but not able to find it.

@macgenie alrighty, good to know for the next challenge. I had a challenge prompt, for the last one, in Gluon because I knew ahead of time what the words will be 😋 Don’t think I’ll manage to add it for this one. Will do my best for the next one.

Any plans to perhaps add an API endpoint for challenge details? @manton (no rush of course)

@maique I don’t think you were on Micro.blog in the previous long standing challenge however I also added a prompt for each day in the Discovery section in Gluon... hope to add it for the next few.

@vincent The prompts could be leaked. We have 20 so far. 😎

@macgenie I would never give up my source 😋

@vincent I was not, you’re right. That sounds like a great idea, and it would definitely work for me, I spend a lot of time on Gluon anyway 😊

@maique I’ll do my best to add it for the current one over the weekend (via TestFlight). Then make it more automatic for the next ones.

@vincent Thank you!

@vincent Some kind of API is a good idea since we want to keep doing these regularly. Currently in terms of a database I'm just storing the current word, which I manually update in Discover. I could include that in the JSON.

@maique eh! Not big deal 😁

@maique well, you either did something or my phone was smart enough and now everything shows correctly lol

@macgenie glad to contribute, looking forward to seeing everyone’s take on it.

@Gabz I did nothing! Maybe your phone is converting the timezones, glad it’s working 😊
