"BeReal." FOSS alternative? Yes please! (self.fediverse)

I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don’t have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it.

Wouldn’t that be cool to have this also as a part in the Fediverse, so with open source technology and dezentralized. What do you think? Maybe there are already plans to build such a thing. I would love to see this! 🤩 Anybody else?

You could share the pictures in a Signal group, maybe something like IFTTT can send the notification?

Signal has stories now too!

Not a bad idea, at least for the beginning. I never heard IFTTT before. Just checked it. May work. So the idea could be:

There is a bot that randomly texts a message in a Signal Group that one or all users shall send a picture now.
The group may have autodeletion of the pictures (after 24 hours).

Limitation:

No "Double Picture (at same time)"
There is no measurement by software if a picture is too late
There is propably no direct notification only to specific users.
There is no gaming thing where you get credits, when you are on time.
