Hi all, I am the Co-founder of Portrit. We released our iPhone app a few weeks back and now we are now ready to promote/show the world.
Portrit is a photo sharing service (Web app and iPhone app) with social filtering, think Digg/Reddit meets photo sharing. Portrit let’s you take a photo and nominate it for one of 10 trophies. These trophies mirror common themes such as Fail, LOL, Artsy, Party Animal, etc. Once a photo has been nominated, any Portrit user can vote on it. At the end of the day (12AM every night), the photo with the most votes in each category wins and is transferred to the owner’s trophy room.
We are very aware of how crowded the market is of photo sharing apps, but we think we're fixing a different problem than our competitors. We are fixing photo discovery and photo overload.
Please take a look at our Web app or iPhone app and let us know what you think.
1) For anonymous users, make anything requiring login actually overlay a login box (e.g., I click upvote and currently nothing happens, it should overlay a login box).
2) Provide twitter authentication. I refuse to login using Facebook, but I don't mind using Twitter to authenticate.
Interesting. Ive had a very similiar idea for a while now, actually its almost the exact same idea i think, but havent had the time to implement it. Ill be following your startup to see how things work out. Good luck with it.
