Building Volt
Follow our journey as we create the fastest WhatsApp experience.
All of our List Improvements in the last 2 months
Over the last two months, we turned Lists from a clever Volt hack into a real power tool. You can now create or assign lists without leaving the keyboard, accept smart suggestions in one keystroke, spin up new lists from the sidebar, and assign emojis. We also killed the hidden 20-list limit and added Broadcasts for Lists. Soon you will be able to personalize this messages with variables.
Message Reminders – Launch
Volt’s new Message Reminders release – turn messages into reminders. WhatsApp isn’t overwhelming because of spam, but because of all the “I’ll reply later” messages you’re secretly trying to remember.
How We Evolved Our Scheduled WhatsApp Design
We share how our scheduled messages feature evolved through 6 iterations, until we finally found the one that just works!
Experimenting with broadcasts
When Migue built a quick tool to notify updates for our event, his Instagram DMs blew up. That moment revealed a blind spot: by focusing too narrowly on product-market fit, Volt had been ignoring new user needs. We vibe-coded a rapid prototype and discovered how much time we could save people on WhatsApp.
