Hi Product Hunt! My name is Pawel and I'm the founder of Tookapic - best place to start and manage your 365 project. It's a unique photography challenge. The goal is to take photos every day for a year. Tookapic was born as a side project after I finished my first 365 project on Tumblr. It was challenging because there was no incentives, no community around the idea of daily photo taking. So I decided to create one. Tookapic is now more than 30.000 users from all over the world sharing their everyday stories and photos. Here are just a few of the benefits of running your 365 project: - You will take better photos - it's almost impossible to get worse at something by doing it every day. The photos you see on Tookapic are mostly taken by amateurs who started their projects with no previous experience. Some of them are now making a living with photography. We had one amateur who sold his photo prints for $1800 a piece 😳 - You will learn a lot about yourself. This kind of project paints a bigger picture of who you are, where you spend the most time and who is important to you. - You will meet a lot of wonderful people. The community I managed to built is unique, friendly and very supportive. Probably because 365 project is a niche challenge that not everyone wants to take up. - And so much more. The video above is actually my personal story. If you want to see some testimonials from our users, here's another short video:

Taking a photo a day is a challenge. But worth it!

You can spend money on expensive equipment, but you will not learn photography without taking photos, tookapic is a great place where you get motivation for everyday training, learning. You view photos of others, you see your progress and other people

After almost a year I did not find any defects

When you start to take photos everyday, it changes a way you perceive the world.

I honestly don't see any cons!
