Make SaaS Waitlists Simple & OpenSource
Weitlist is exatly what it says it is, a waitlist platform for your projects.
How it works
Warning
Weit! Here's a guide
First and foremost you'll need a Github account, I'll add other OAuth later on + email.
In a couple minutes you'll be able to create and embed your personal waitlist form for your side-project.
- Connect with Github
- Create a new waitlist in the right side bar
- Edit name/website URL
- Copy the waitlist link and share with others
- Grab the embed code from Integrations page
The API is designed using TRPC and the OpenAPI version is not yet implemented (not OpenAI!!!), it uses prisma as ORM over a Supabase database.
List of Supabase features used:
- Database
- storing all table data (users, accounts, waitlist, entries & more)
- Storage
- will store bg images for waitlists
- More coming soon
Motivation
When I was working at morrow.to landing page I found myself spending literal hours making a decent waitlist experience, when I heard Supabase Launch Week X is coming I knew I had to act on that need. I know there are several other waitlist SaaS (extremely powerful and more feature rich), but I'll try my best to evolve weitlist.me as an open-source competitor.
Disclaimer
This project is usable, but far from complete, I had a lot more features planned to be ready before I open-sourced it but I had a hectic week, my phone got stolen and I had to travel 250km to get it back and the following day I had to have my appendix removed out of the blue. Not a sob story to gain extra awareness but I feel bad for not rising to the expectations and target I set for myself.
Ideas for the future
- Add no-code fields to add branding to join form
- Create weitlist templates
- Allow API access
- Use more Supabase because it's cool
- Improve mobile version
