About
I’m an indie dev, and over the last 8 years I’ve shipped 7 apps. Most of them didn’t go anywhere. But the ones that did had something in common: before launch, I didn’t just collect emails. I asked a few simple questions on the waitlist form too.
That small difference mattered. The email-only launches often had similar signup numbers, but I had no real insight into who those people were or what they actually wanted. Those launches usually underperformed.
The frustrating part was rebuilding the same setup every time: landing page, waitlist form, email backend, survey questions, and later a feedback page once users started trying the product. It was hours of plumbing before I could even start learning.
Lighthouse is the tool I wish I’d had. It gives you a waitlist with survey questions built into the same form, so you can collect emails and understand what people want before writing a line of code.
After launch, you can keep those users close with a built-in newsletter and feedback page. There’s also a REST API if you want to connect it to your own app.
Built solo, without the hype. Indie dev to indie dev.
