Hi All! I built a small Indie SAAS project called Waitlist, designed to help you go viral before you launch. My product provides a simple no-code Waitlist Signup Widget that's easy to integrate on your website, as well as a full API.
Whenever I think about building something new, I always try to first build an audience for the idea -- to validate if people are actually interested, and then to have a group of early users to try it out. I needed a good tool to collect signups, ask people questions, send them emails, etc. so I built Waitlist.
But a Waitlist gets competitive: if people sign up, they want to be first in line. So I gamified the service -- people can move up in line if they refer their friends -- and that's been a really powerful viral marketing service. Referrals have driven over 1.5 million signups via our platform.
It's been a really interesting journey for me so far. I'm happy to answer any questions!
