I feel like this would work even better as a daily game like Wordle with the same 5 pics for everyone to play so you can (lightly) compete with friends. And at the end, you could get some trivia for each of the photos

Why would this work better as a daily game like wordle? I ask because I disagree. Visuals are far more infinite than guessing a 5 letter word with restricted choices. Chrono and Wordle are not comparable.

  People like to compete: seeing the same questions makes the scores comparable. Having common context of the same "daily pics" also creates opportunities for discussion & debate which don't exist otherwise. Trickling out synchronized games may create more durable entertainment, because otherwise many tend to play intensely until they bore of it, considering it "done" – never checking back. Returning back each day may generate more 'fun' per game, as the satiation of repeated play is minimized. It also cultivates a reliable audience for incremental changes/experiments that take time to implement & evaluate – assiting iterative improvement.

  If it gets popular by going viral, the creator could sell it for 7 figures to the New York Times too.

The trivia thing was asked for at reddit too, but i looked into the file storage of the server and it seems that the photos are just plainly stolen from all over the internet with file names like chronophoto.app/years/1963/ap630629032-02fcaf4ca7736109b998d760283a3a9ba7bceda7-s900-c85.webp or chronophoto.app/years/2017/ed-jones-north-korea-top-100-photos-2017.jpg No credit is given anywhere too. This is probably illegal and the author will get in a lot of trouble if he does not do something about that soon.
