I was building the MVP for another product, but after seeing tons of other pre-launch startups starting to gamify their waitlist (by letting users move up the list by referring others to sign up) I decided I want to take advantage of that too so I started building that out.<p>Then I thought, "hell, why don't I try to actually turn this into something?"<p>Three-ish weeks later, HelloList.com was born.<p>Take a peek! Going to try to make this something that nearly anyone can use to build a waiting list, so would love to hear any feedback on how to make it more useful.
It will probably be cool if you let users be able to customize the reward for inviting folks. For example, if I'm launching an app, it doesn't matter if you're number 1 on list or 1,000. Everyone will still be downloading at the same time when the app is released. Perhaps some users will want to customize such that when you invite 20 friends, you get x, when they sign up, you get y.<p>Good concept though.
Cool idea, simple and effective! Wish you good luck.<p>One thought about pricing: limits are very bad. Let's say I pay you for the plus plan. Once I get over 1000 what happens? Do I loose mails? You don't want that to happen to your customers: provide recovery options of some kind, or change revenue model.
