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.
Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 63 | Current: 1346 Soon you ll be able to tell your fellow citizen to go to hell or, ideally, have a proper debate. I m about 90% done building a dedicated thread system for Votap. You comment on a politician or an article. Someone replies you get notified (push + in-app). You tap it and land straight in a thread. You ll see: the original comment that started it your conversation and the full back-and-forth No more lost replies. No more chaos. Just actual discussions. (And yes sometimes that might include telling someone to go to hell ) Update coming soon. Download Votap from the App Store! More tomorrow.
Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 60 | Current: 1294 Over 100 users have already chosen their fate. Will you be the next? That s how many people have already generated their username through the new update. Now onto step two: I m currently working on making conversations actually feel like conversations. You ll be able to: tag the person you re replying to get notified when someone responds go back and forth in proper threads Not just random one-off comments anymore. Download Votap from the App Store if you want to try it when it comes out. More tomorrow.
Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 49 | Current: 1250 I felt extremely busy last week and realized I barely did anything. We said: Let s reach out to as many VCs and angels as possible. Sounds productive, right? But your brain doesn t understand that. What does many mean? Who exactly? Where do we find them? What do we say? How many per day? I realized the plan has to be almost stupidly simple. So we sat down for a full day and turned it into a protocol: Find investors here open their page follow wait X time send message log it in the sheet etc... Some people might feel a bit stupid needing this level of structure. I actually think it s the opposite. If your brain is capable of solving hard problems, your time is too valuable to waste on small decisions. Structure lets you spend your energy executing instead of constantly figuring out what to do next. Download Votap from the App Store if you want to follow along. More tomorrow.
