Where it started
Poekoe begins
Vamp originated as an idea in 2013 between a software engineer (Christian Witchger) and a UI/UX designer (Andrés). The original project was called Poekoe.
The story so far
History of Vamp
Vamp began long before its first release. It started as Poekoe, paused for nearly a decade, and returned with a new name and a renewed purpose.
Maze Day 2014
Poekoe sees the light
Development continued, and in 2014 Poekoe was shown at UNC Chapel Hill's Maze Day as a student project for the visually impaired.
On the shelf
Paused
Poekoe development continued for a few months and then stopped. The project was then set on the shelf and almost left to rest.
New name, same vision
Poekoe returns as Vamp
In 2026, development started again under the name Vamp. The project continued to grow from the original Poekoe idea into a new generation of the app.
