Building Volt
Follow our journey as we create the fastest WhatsApp experience.
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.
Adapting WhatsApp Lists to bring Icons to Volt users
You can now personalize your lists in Volt with emojis. A small UX idea that led us deep into Unicode land. From invisible characters to hidden binary encoding, we found a way to keep lists expressive when active and clean when archived.
