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.
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 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.
