Once upon a time, developing for Apple was an exciting, rewarding challenge. But lately, that relationship has soured.

Apple has transformed into a trillion-dollar giant that sees developers not as partners, but as a resource to control, extract from, and when convenient ignore.

We re letting users take over Votap
One thing that s been really cool lately? The emails.
People telling us what they like.
What they d change.
Which politicians we should add next.
I answer as many as I can, but it made me realize something:
If Votap is about public opinion
then the app itself should be shaped by public opinion too.
So in the next update (coming very soon), we re adding a proper feedback space directly inside the app.
You ll be able to:
Suggest features
Request politicians
Comment on ideas
Upvote what you want to see next
Other users can vote on suggestions too so we build what people actually care about.
Votap is a people platform first.
So the product should evolve with the people using it.
We want this live before our next bigger user acquisition push (aiming much higher next time ).
If you want to help shape it, download Votap from the App Store.
More tomorrow.

India has updated its startup rules to better support deep tech companies in sectors like space, semiconductors, and biotech, which take longer to mature.
