Roast This MVP: babyyodatracker PWA
I made this MVP a few mths back and designed it to be an Amazon affiliate site, but didnt put in the effort to populate it with content so my affiliate account got rejected. I've been working with PWAs for a bit so this has web push notifications and falls back to email and ultimately add to calendar for releases. If a release date is in the future, you can sign up to be notified. If it's in the past, you can "Buy Now". The only one that you can be notified is the last one since everything else has already passed its release date.
Anyways i've long been fascinated by what release dates and exclusivity do for people. Creating a vehicle to keep people engaged and in the loop is what I'm after, but monetizing with affiliate products would be the play here. What's some ideas or initial reactions to something like this? Do any of you see creating a platform like this as a service a worthy venture?
Stack is actually a homegrown SPA framework with jQuery and vanilla js, on firebase for cloud messaging and google cloud functions, and email lists per product handled with Mailchimp tagging. Can subscribe/unsubscribe to particular Mailchimp tags. I'll probably move this over to React or svelte for cleaner url routing.
