I m the maker behind Lens Proof-of-Work Camera. launch days are noisy or it might be quiet. I honestly do not know what will happen, but that's the beauty of it, the tension of the unknown. I'm here to answer any questions if this thread is much better to catch your questions.
If you want to go deeper on why we built Lens, how it fits a real workflow, or what we re working on next, ask here. I will reply as clearly as I can.
If you try Lens and something feels unclear or broken, say what happened. Specific feedback is what we are here so we can move the product forward.
Thanks for showing up today.
Yo— Reneboy here, a civil engineer and the person who built Lens.
The story starts on a job site. I needed GPS and timestamps on my photos. The existing apps worked. But none of them felt like anyone who built them had ever stood in the field.
I kept thinking about the Victorinox Swiss Army knife. It's survived over a century not because it does everything, but because every tool it has is refined for a specific instance. Its constraints are what make it special. That became the standard for Lens — not a feature dump, just the right tools, done with care.
One thing I want to be upfront about: we hit a wall with C2PA conformance. AI hallucinated a non-existent tag in our implementation and got flagged. We didn't hide it. We are rebuilding the implementation and we're still working toward the official list. That's our moat — and right now, our kryptonite. And that's the truthy, its a wall to overcome. back to the good vibes
If you treat your photos as evidence, I'd love to know how Lens feels in your hands.
Good and bad feedback are welcome, but please be gentle this is my first launch. :)
