Vota

Don't set goals. Instead, focus everything on growth. Growing every single month. Vota's numbers are still small, but we do everything we can to grow every single month. Looks like it's working. In the early stages you have no way of knowing what an achievable goal is. And the consequences of setting bad goals are devastating. Set the goal too high and you demotivate the team. Motivation is everything in the early stages. Imagine this: You set the goal to 12% monthly growth. The team hits 6%. Everyone feels like we're failing. But in reality, you had no way of knowing if 12% was ever the right goal. Set the goal too low and you're slowing down your own growth. So don't set goals. Focus everything on growing every single month. I guarantee you'll get there. And you'll get the product right along the way. #posthog

On Google, the difference between a mediocre restaurant and the best in the city is about half a star. Sometimes nothing at all. Every place worth visiting sits between 4.0 and 4.7. That's not a rating system. That's every restaurant being told they're pretty good. On Vota, we use a scale from 1 to 100. All 100 levels are in play. A score of 100 means you're looking at one of the top 1% of restaurants in the world. A score of 1 — well, you know what that means. When the whole scale is in play, the scores actually tell you something. Download Vota. Help us fix restaurant ratings.

"You've never been able to express yourself this clearly before." A Vota colleague said that to me yesterday. And it hit hard. I've always had the same challenge: I get a product idea and it's crystal clear in my head. I can see it. I can feel how it should work. Getting it OUT of my head has always been the long part. The old process: 🐌 → Conversation → Whiteboard → Designer → Figma → Back and forth → Eventually, a prototype Days, sometimes weeks. Good work by great people, but a tedious translation chain. Yesterday that changed. With Claude Design, I took the next iteration of a Vota feature straight from my head to a clickable, interactive design. Just prompted my way into something I could put in front of the team: "This is what it should look like." "This is how it should feel." "This is how the features should work." Speed is the obvious win. Hours instead of days. ⚡ But speed means more iterations. And more iterations mean a better product. For a founder who's been building products for 15+ years, this feels like a fundamental shift. What used to take you a week that now takes hours? #startups #ai #productdesign #vota

Controversial opinion: a burger joint and a fine dining restaurant are comparable. Strip away the price. Strip away the occasion. What's left is food quality and experience and one of them is better. That's the idea Vota is built on. Agree or disagree? Download Vota and settle it.

New feature: Add any restaurant to Vota in seconds. Found a great spot that's not on Vota yet? Now you can add it yourself. Just snap a photo of the restaurant front or menu. We handle the rest. No forms. No waiting. Ready to rate right away. Download Vota and try it out.

Online ratings can't tell you what the locals already know. Two restaurants can look identical on paper, same stars, same reviews and one of them is simply better. Vota fixes that. No stars, no sponsored rankings. Just honest opinions from real diners who actually know the places. Download Vota and help us build ratings that actually work.

The 5-star rating system puts restaurant lovers in an impossible position. Your favourite neighbourhood pizza place deserves an honest score, but a 4 feels too low and a 5 is simply not true. That's the problem we're solving with Vota. Instead of stars, you compare restaurants you've visited. Your pizza place gets a 72. A 3-star Michelin gets a 100. Both scores are honest. Both make sense. Download Vota and help us build ratings that actually work.
