One thing first: The design of the waiting room/lobby is really beautiful!<p>But I dont like the simplicity of the landing page. It looks a bit boring and bland to me. Maybe show a nice example lobby (or a screenshot) directly at the beginning.
Also maybe add some color and a few icons to the landing page.<p>This could also be used when revealing an app or a new platform. Like the countdown timer some websites use. So maybe you could adapt this idea to other use cases.<p>Also an idea for a feature: Maybe add a simple chat to the waiting room where people can ask questions or just talk before the event starts.<p>But if I would host online events, I think I would use it. Makes the whole thing seem more professional and special/exclusive.
Hi HN, this is fun social utility I hacked together over the past couple of days. I see it in the same vein as Bitly and Linktree-- filling a small gap in existing in existing products.<p>If you host online events, is this something you would use? What would it take to get there? Or is it simply not worth the extra steps involved?
