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.
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 instead of top-level comments, you ll be able to respond to each other and build proper discussion threads. Votap is meant to be a platform shaped by opinions, not just charts.

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 1,000x more to hit 1 million. Easy, right? Seriously though thank you. More tomorrow.
Tomorrow could change Votap forever My co-founder Zahoor Ali will be pitching at Grishin Robotics Accelerator Demo Day in front of a room full of London-based investors. For us, this is huge. Getting our idea in front of investors Testing our vision under pressure Building relationships that could shape Votap s future Thank you for being here and believing in Votap More tomorrow.
What happened today shocked me We added a new politician to Votap Zack Polanski based on user suggestions. In the first minute: 22 votes 4 comments and the chart started moving Watching the feedback live within seconds that was one of those okay, this can be big moments. We re at 689 users now. Imagine this when it s 10,000. 100,000. 1 million. That spike of activity was proof that people care and they re ready to express it. If you want to be part of it, download Votap. More tomorrow.
New Votap promo video just dropped! (turn sound on) Instagram video ads keep working best for us, so we re doubling down there. This one s new: Built the mockups with Promo Gen (Canva still can t do proper mockup videos ) Much easier for showing the app in motion Would honestly recommend it if you re doing app ads Also, we re 8 users away from 500, which still feels a bit unreal. Curious what you think rate the video in the comments https://www.instagram.com/reel/D...
