Povio, the polite photo app that students love, joins YC’s winter batch

I came up with an idea when I was on the top of a snowboard ramp(i was a snowboard pro), trying to capture the moment and share it with my friends over Instagram. But it felt like bragging, I didn’t want to collecting likes, comments and build my ego. Than I thought - if my friends would ask me where I am right now, I would be glad to show them and it would feel totally unintrusive!

So that was the initial idea for pull photo sharing app!

As a beta user for a year or so: it really feels good to be pinged. :)

And it's great entertainment to just browse what friends have been doing for last 24h.

+1 from me

Congrats on the traction! Quick question since I haven't downloaded the app, how would that have worked at the top of the snowboard ramp since your friends would have had to ping you right at that exact moment? Were you thinking that you would take a picture to reply with later? I'm trying to understand how the app works if 90% of the time that I might get pinged I'm not doing anything interesting (we can't all be snowboard pros ;)
