Now that I have your attention, I have a confession to make: I lied.
Well sort of… because Voat 2.0 doesn’t exist yet, but it will in the future, and this thread is the first in a series of Quarterly Reviews we will be doing to get your feedback on what we need, what we need to improve, and the direction we need to move as a company and as a community.
I can finally announce that Voat’s features (software-wise) are now in the ballpark of a semi-functional platform. I’m not saying Voat is perfect, nor am I saying the features are mature, rather I am saying that we are nearing "acceptable" as a basic functioning platform.
But a basic functioning platform was never our end goal, it was just the first milestone we needed to hit. Now that we are approaching this milestone we need to lay out our future direction.
Voat doesn’t want to be a “clone” any longer. We want to stand up and proclaim our uniqueness. We want to put our differences on display and stake our future on them. Voat can’t survive without redefining ourselves, without evolving into something bigger, something better, something unique and new.
This is the post where we get to dream big, have no boundaries, no constraints, and live in world where everything is possible.
Hypothetical
You have an army of programmers, mountains of cash to burn, and you are the only board member: What does Voat 2.0 look like?

fail. shit's not been updated in over a month, and really, major changes haven't been pushed. for over a month, voat has been closed source. pay attention.

The last time I looked was a month ago. You're right about no changes. Last commit: Feb 21st. At this point I'm becoming curious about what the real story is with the source.

look at dev not master. it was last month. but that was just to do something about imjur links with orvix or some such shit. really, none of the last 3 major changes have been put on git.
consider that voat ips are logged. now posts you make have your own upvoat permanently on them. that may very well mean posts are now ip logged..
