I wanted to play more but couldn't find any way. Refresh page, no new game link, tried entering URL again. Checked but no cookies to delete. That's one way to ensure I never visit the site again.

To be fair it's a daily challenge. Try again tomorrow. But yes, I would love it if there were more game modes (similar to GeoGuessr)

Hi, I made the game. Appreciate the feedback! Working on a mode that lets you play more right now.

I like things I can improve my skill on. This works by getting a stream of feedback as I study what I did and the errors I made, then try again with changes. Having only 5 rounds a day (assuming it resets each day) greatly limits this. This limitation seems more like an attempt to make me use it in a certain way (make it part of my daily routine). That's off-putting. I wanted to sit there grinding over dozens of photos and watching my skill improve in real-time.

Sorry for being so hard on it. I looked at the intro page again and see now that it's not what I was thinking, where you have a large database of good photos with known dates it can choose from, instead each day your curate (I assume) a few photos for everyone to try and compare results (for the same photos). So it's not just a matter of letting someone play again, because currently they would get the same five photos. I took it to be something like the classic "Am I hot or not?" with a database of tons of photos.
