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.
Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 46 | Current: 1169 Votap casino coming soon... Okay that might be a bit of clickbait But hear me out. Today I worked on the flow of generating your Votap user tag. When you join, you answer 3 simple, non-political questions. Just light stuff. Nothing about ideology. Based on that, the app generates your nickname from a predefined pool of words. And here s the fun part. Instead of just showing it I thought it would be cool to make it feel like a little "reveal moment". Little wheels spinning. Landing on your adjective. Landing on your noun. Then the number. It s still anonymous. Still serious about politics. But with a small moment of fun when you enter. Something people might actually remember.

Road to 1,000,000 Votap users Day 45 | Current: 1161 How do you generate 10 BILLION unique usernames in seconds? We ve been thinking about identity inside Votap. We want it anonymous. No real names. No influencer vibes. No follower contests. But people still need an ID. For discussions. For tagging. For replies. And random strings like user_847362 just feel dead. So we asked ourselves what if creating your tag felt like a tiny game? Here s the idea: When you join, you answer 1 2 simple, non-political questions. For example: Which word describes you best? (6 options) What s your biggest passion? (6 options) Nothing about ideology. Just light personality stuff. Behind the scenes we have: 1,000 adjectives 1,000 nouns That s 1,000,000 combinations. Then we add a 4-digit number (0000 9999 = 10,000 options). 1,000,000 10,000 = 10,000,000,000 That s 10 billion possible tags. So you might get something like: CalmOrbit4829 BoldForest1930 CuriousNova7741 You don t fully control it. You don t fully know what you ll get. There s that little moment of: Okay what am I going to get? It s anonymous. But still human. And a bit fun. This is still fresh, but I really want to bring this into Votap soon.
