Waitless - Collect sign ups with built-in referrals

Hmm, I'm thinking of using this for new feature launches (to prove demand and generate traction). Just because it's so simple and easy to use. Congrats on the launch @pietterheyden @maxime_junique2!

Hey Piet, can you please upload the video again in this PH launch? We should see the thumbnail then :) Wish you GL with the launch and Happy/Successful NY! :)

Hey everyone! 👋 When @maxime_junique2 and I met, we had a ton of ideas for what to work on, but we weren’t sure which one would really resonate or deserve our focus. My go-to way to test ideas and build a first audience has always been: • Create a landing page that clearly explains the idea. • Add a form to collect signups. • Use a referral system to amplify interest. • Email those who sign up, ask questions, and refine the concept while letting in first users. This approach has worked well for me before. For example, when I co-founded Literal, our first 25k users came through referrals. But we had to build a fully custom solution to make it work, and the experience of sending newsletters or managing signups with outdated and disconnected tools was frustrating. When Maxime and I launched our first app together, POOL, we followed the same playbook—but this time, we built a tool that became a product on its own: Waitless. With Waitless, we’ve combined all the most important tools for founders and creators into one: 📝 Create custom signup forms. 🔗 Send beautiful email campaigns. 📩 Track signups in an intuitive CRM. 📊 Built-in referral system. Everything is all in one place now—and you don’t need any technical experience to make it happen. No need to create a landing page with one tool, collect signups with another, send email campaigns with yet another, and pay for all of them separately. But more importantly, Waitless helps you turn your ideas into reality. With just a few clicks, you can launch to the world, gather insights, and grow your audience. Waitless is just getting started. We’re already working on more ways to help founders and creators launch and grow their ideas. For updates, check our Updates page and follow us on X/Twitter. Thank you for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to see what you build with Waitless. We’d love to hear what you all think and are happy to answer any questions.

Looks quite promising! I am currently working on a new product, and have a waitlist already - is there migration guide? And how can I add it to the Framer website?

@maxime_junique2 and @pietterheyden are a dream couple when it comes to building fantastic products. If you need a signup page with superpowers, try Waitless! :)

Amazing work, @pietterheyden and @maxime_junique2! Waitless seems like a great tool for anyone wanting to streamline their signup and email marketing process. The simplicity of having everything in one place is a huge win! Do you have any tips for optimizing email campaigns using Waitless? Would love to hear some best practices!

Used waitless for a feature launch. It was a huge success for us and so much quicker than building the referral mechanics ourselves. Thanks for your support @pietterheyden & @maxime_junique2

Great launch! Just a high level question: there are a lot of form builders out there? Why should I use this instead of something like TypeForm?

Congrats on the launch! This looks super useful! Definitely seems like a time saver. I like the fact that referral system is integrated into it.

This is exactly what early-stage founders need! 🚀 What impresses me most about Waitless: 1. The seamless integration of waitlist + referral + email campaigns solves a major pain point. Most founders have to juggle between multiple tools (TypeForm + Mailchimp + custom referral system), but Waitless brings everything under one roof. 2. The CRM interface is refreshingly simple. As someone who's launched several products, I know how overwhelming data management can get. This clean approach is a breath of fresh air. Feature request: Would love to see A/B testing capabilities for signup forms and referral incentives. This could help founders optimize their conversion rates from day one. Question: How do you handle email deliverability? Are there any built-in templates or best practices to help founders craft effective launch emails? The free tier is generous, making it accessible to bootstrapped founders. This could be a game-changer for indie makers looking to validate their ideas quickly. Great work! 👏

Looks efficient for email campaigns.

I’m using waitless since day one and it’s mind blowing. You get the full suite to kick off your idea, create a waitlist and build a community. So kill your Loops, Hubspot, Mailchimp etc. today and replace it with waitless. You will never look back I promise.

hell yes this looks awesome, will use for my newsletters and experiments

Design is great ✅ Pricing is great ✅ Perfect way to test market and validate any idea!

Hey, overall, it's a great product. Could you explain what “Gamify your entire product through actions.” will be? That seems interesting.

Love this! Finally someone solved the waitlist headache 🙌 Been using multiple tools for my side projects and it's always a mess - connecting typeform to mailchimp, building referral stuff from scratch... Such a pain. Really dig how you combined everything in one place. The UI is clean and the referral system just works out of the box. That's huge for solo founders like me. Quick question: Any plans to add custom domains? Would be sweet for branding. Signed up for the free tier, excited to try this on my next launch! 🚀

Thanks for the inspiration!

Love the simplicity and specificity of it.

QQ: what tool did you use to create that demo video - was it loom? thx!
