José Fernández is a young promise in the world of software development for Windows Phone, winner of the Mobile Code Jam at the 10th Annual Conference of the IEEE CCN of the year 2013, and which has now embarked together with Pablo Moncunill on a new project: Pikura
Which invites users to share photos under relatively new premises such as simplicity and competition in challenges; and in the classic punctuation, share or comment.
The challenges, the soul of Pikura
The first thing that strikes me when entering Pikura is the extreme simplicity of its interface.

By clicking on this tab, we access the list of all the photos that users have sent to compete in the challenge, and I can know who has uploaded them, how many votes they have received and I can add a comment."
"Of course, I can add my own photo here; doing it with the mobile camera or using one that is stored on the device.I can also give it a special post production effect with one of the few filters that the application offers."
"The statistics screen is very good to know what my activity has been within the social network and, above all, to be able to snoop on the photos of others. What challenges is he participating in and how popular is he."

In short, a new and refreshing approach to sharing our favorite photos.
