24 alternatives to OS Pre-Launch Page with Heroku and Campaign Monitor

While procrastinating doing the ironing today I whipped up a Sinatra/Heroku/Campaing Monitor application for a Pre-Launch Page. If you're following MVP/Lean Startup principles or preparing for launch, you should start gathering interest for your application. In 5 minutes or less your new idea can start collecting e-mails (assuming you promote it). Easy to follow directions are included. http://vouched.heroku.com <-- Example (actually this is mine. Vouched: Recruitment with Social Proof). On github: https://github.com/maxdemarzi/Camel

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. OS Pre-Launch Page with Heroku and Campaign Monitor launched in 2011; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey! I've recently launched Waitlister, an app for creating product launch waitlist in minutes (or seconds if you wish to). Why you should build a waitlist before you launch your product? Because, - it'll help you validate your idea before spending too much time on building, - get first users that will potentially convert/sign up as soon as you launch, - and you can generate more buzz for your launch than you could without one. How does Waitlister help you with this? With it, you can: - create a hosted landing page, - create an embeddable waitlist form, - send automatic welcome emails,…

    Hi HN, I built LaunchsPage to help founders and makers create a simple launch page in just a few minutes without coding or design work. Why: I noticed many early-stage startups waste time setting up a basic “Coming Soon” page. I wanted something that gets you online fast so you can start collecting emails and focus on building the product itself. Features: Create a page in 3 minutes Add logo, banner, launch date Email signups built-in Free to start Would love feedback on what to improve or add next!

    Hi HN When ProductHunt Ship shut down, I missed having a simple way to collect early signups, email my waiting list, and see how much traction a product idea was getting without setting up half a dozen tools. So I built Debutsoft. It’s a lightweight pre-launch tool for makers and indie founders. You can create a clean landing page, collect and export waitlist signups, send update emails, and see basic analytics all in one place. My goals were: - Simplicity: launch pages that load fast and look good without editing templates. - Ownership: you always own your data and can export it any time. -…

    We thought it would help us a lot if we would have a platform to connect with early adopters more easily for Stamplin. As a quick and dirty side project, we buit early (http://early.herokuapp.com/) other the weekend. There is a lot's of features we would like to add: - obviously, subscribe, single vote by project - comments - give your email address, add twitter account info and more to keep early adopters posted - more details about the project (images, video, etc..) Customer validation shouldn't be that difficult. Comments/thoughts?

    Startup Weekend just started in our city and we thought we'll build a Heroku autoscaler that really works, and saves you not only from slowly building traffic but from the slashdot effect as well.<p>Those who tried out ddollar's gem (and all forks of it) or even Heroscale know that the problem's not so trivial to solve.<p>We hope people will get it, and pay a small monthly fee to save many days of inrastructure coding so they can focus on business logic instead.<p>URL is: http://scalefu.com/
