future app · weekly photo prompt, strictly enforced idea AI-enhanced
frame
Commit to a weekly subject — doorways, hands, signs, shoes — and frame only accepts photos that match.
"Forced discipline. Portfolios that compound."
The hook
Pick a weekly subject. Shoot only that for seven days. frame rejects off-prompt shots.
The user
Lapsed photographers and constraint-loving creatives. Right now because their camera roll is undisciplined and joyless.
The klip-feed
| Replaces | The aesthetic grid |
| Klip payload | Weekly themed strip — 5–7 photos, one subject |
| Profile signal | Forced-discipline portfolios that compound week over week |
AI layer
| What it does | A vision model is the bouncer. It scores each submission against the week's subject prompt (open-vocab) and either accepts, rejects with reason, or asks for a better crop. |
| Input | Subject prompt + candidate photo |
| Output | Accept / reject with one-line reason ("this is a window, not a doorway") |
| Why with > without | Without AI, "discipline" is self-enforced — and isn't. With AI, the constraint is a real wall, which is the entire product. |
