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.

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.
