    Love this update! Accordion sections are a great UX improvement — makes long forms feel way smoother. The colored headers add personality without clutter. I’ve been experimenting with UI simplifications in my own product too — totally agree that small design changes can make a big difference in engagement. 🔥

      Thanks. I hope too that it makes for less overwhelming even though most fields are optional.

    Great concept! A dedicated platform for waitlists is definitely needed. I love how you're focusing on reducing friction with optional fields - smart move. The live preview feature is a nice touch. This could be especially valuable for indie makers who want early validation and community building. Best of luck with the launch!

    I just submitted our profile 😉

    Quick question: why are there so many optional fields?

    Suggestion: it might be helpful if we could select multiple categories.

      Thank you. And thank you for question/suggestion.

      The idea is to make it very easy to submit a waiting list, even if founder has not yet created logo or text. Or if they want to stay anonymous. Less friction.

      Is there a downside to this or was just a question?

      Thanks about multi category idea.

        Nope, I was just confused if it’s not a bug, since usually everyone asks for more required info. ;)

    Love the story and the birthday deadline pressure! 🎉

    How did you prioritize which features to ship first in just a few days?

      Thanks.
      Easy- it had to be directory. So it needed submission and directory. Basically that was it and main priority. Accounts and editing are for later.

      Indeed for submission I could have used third party forms like many other directory sites are doing, but I wanted to make it preview listing for less friction.

I realized there was a gap for a dedicated platform where pre-launch indie and bootstrapped projects could showcase their waitlists, gain exposure, and connect with early adopters.
