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.
Download Votap from the App Store if you want to follow along!
More tomorrow.

As an indie software business, we're constantly faced with a tough question:
Do you double down on what s working?
Or hedge your bets and build something new?

The past year at Magic Lasso Adblock, we asked ourselves that very question.

Hi everyone!

Quick but exciting update Lovable.dev, the platform we actually built Lovaround with, is now officially supporting us

It feels amazing to have the very tool that made this possible now helping us grow the community.

This also means we can keep all premium features free for everyone, making it easier than ever to pin yourself, find fellow builders, and start collaborating.
