🚀 Road to 1,000,000 #Votap users — Day 44 | Current: 1147 I don’t want Votap to become Instagram. Okay… in terms of user numbers — yes please 😅 But not in how it works. Since we added replies, people have been really active in the comments. Proper discussions are starting. And I love that. Now I’m thinking about user profiles. Being able to tag someone in a reply. Have back and forth...

✅ First 1,000 users ✅ 50–100 new users per day when we turn ads on ✅ A fully functioning product with real engagement ✅ Live votes, charts, comments, suggestions — all working Now the focus shifts. In the coming days, most of my energy goes into fundraising. Building investor relationships. Getting warm intros. Taking meetings. Refining the pitch again and again. We’re already starting first...

🚀 Road to 1,000,000 Votap users — Day 42 | Current: 1116 We just opened our pre-seed round. After going through the Grishin Robotics accelerator and refining our pitch, we’ve officially launched our raise (closing end of March). For those new here: Votap is a real-time public sentiment platform for politics. We’re building a space where public opinion is visible 24/7, not just during elections....

Comment replies almost broke my brain. But they’re almost ready. 😅 Building threaded conversations inside Votap turned out to be way harder than I expected. It’s not just “add a reply button”. It’s: → Showing the flow of the conversation → Making it visually clear who replies to who → Displaying votes for the parent, the author, and each reply → Keeping it clean and not chaotic I finally found...

We’re about to make Votap arguments… louder. Very soon, you’ll be able to reply directly to comments on politicians and news articles — creating threaded discussions instead of one long wall of opinions. Votap is about open dialogue. Agree. Disagree. Challenge each other. (Preferably in a civilised way… let’s try 😅) We don’t want echo chambers. We want real conversations — and yes, sometimes...

We just gave Votap to the users... Version 1.4.9 is live. You can now suggest: → Politicians to add → Features you want → Improvements we should make I’ve learned something building this app: You shouldn’t build for yourself. You should build for your users. Sometimes you think you have the best ideas… but that might only be true in your own head. Right after launching the update, suggestions...

Votap just crossed 300+ comments 🤯 With the recent spike in users, something really cool started happening inside our app. People aren’t just voting. They’re also explaining their reasons. In just a short time, we’ve crossed 321 total comments across politicians. Different views. Different countries. Real opinions. And this is exactly what we hoped for. Next step? → We’re adding replies. So...

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...

We just crossed 1,000 users?! 🤯 The growth lately has been crazy. A bit overwhelming in the best way. I remember going to concerts in my hometown with about 1,000 people in the crowd. A full room. Loud. Packed. Now imagine that same room — but every single person downloaded your app, registered, and voted. Over 1,000 real humans who cared enough to try Votap. That blows my mind a little. Only...
