Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm iOS dev, and Portraits is a side project that got out of hand. It started with a simple frustration: I'd recognise a face in a museum or a history book and have no idea who it was. Most face quizzes are celebrity pop culture, with an image and no story. I wanted the opposite: painters, scientists, rulers, composers, explorers — and a few lines on each life once you've answered. What's inside: • 1,158 people, from Nefertiti to Bowie, each with a documented photo or painting • A card written by hand for every one of them, in English, French and Spanish • Four ways to play: one face four names, one name four faces, type the name, or put four portraits in order of time • Missed faces come back the next day, then three days later, then a week on • Fully offline, no ads, no account The first 150 portraits are free. After that it's a single purchase, never a subscription — the collection is finite, so charging monthly felt dishonest. I'd love to know: which face did you get wrong? And who's missing from the list?
