Born from the frustration of building waitlists systems over and over

👋 Hey everyone, maker here!

A few weeks ago, I was trying to validate some new SaaS ideas. My usual process is simple:

• Vibe code a quick landing page

• Code a waitlist backend with a database

• Grab a cheap domain

• Start testing with real users

But one thing kept slowing me down: the waitlist itself.

Setting it up was way too much work for something so small. You need a backend, deployment, email sending, notifications… and even then, you barely know what’s happening unless you build extra tracking yourself.

After repeating this a few times, I thought: "what if I had my own API to handle this in seconds"? That’s how FreeWaitlists was born.

With FreeWaitlists, you can:

• Send welcome emails automatically

• Get instant notifications for every signup

• See simple analytics at a glance

• Export your list anytime when you’re ready to launch

It’s built to save founders, indie hackers, and SaaS builders the boring setup work, so you can focus on launching your product.

I’d love your feedback, and if you have feature requests, drop them below. 🙏  https://freewaitlists.com
