Changelog
Release notes for Waitlyze.
v0.10.0
The full campaign loop: cockpit, rewards, and cleaner growth signals
Launches now have an end-to-end loop - share to grow, earn points, and watch a fair, well-attributed funnel - with email delivery that reaches the inbox. Abuse limits and verification keep the campaign honest without adding friction.
Highlights
- Run the campaign from one place. The referral cockpit lets teams control share channels, social follows, and campaign settings, with a masked leaderboard view that never exposes raw emails.
- Turn sharing into rewards. Qualifying referrals now earn points from a transparent ledger, and subscribers see their position and progress toward the next reward tier.
- Keep the funnel honest. IP-velocity fraud limits gate suspicious signup bursts, and each waitlist can opt in to Cloudflare Turnstile human verification.
- Attribute growth properly. Signups break down by source, location, and device, with embeddable public widgets (leaderboard and counter) so momentum can be shown anywhere.
- Email that keeps launches moving. A founder email builder with reusable templates and a retried delivery outbox, plus per-waitlist BYOK senders and Slack notifications.
v0.9.0
Analytics, with more signal
The analytics workspace grew from top-line signup counts into a clearer picture of who is joining, how they found the waitlist, and which referrals are bringing in new people. Date comparisons help teams understand whether a launch is gaining momentum or needs attention.
Highlights
- Understand acquisition quality. Break down signups by source, location, device, and referral activity so teams can see which channels are contributing more than raw traffic.
- Compare performance over time. Choose date ranges, review conversion alongside useful benchmarks, and spot changes in signup activity without exporting data to a spreadsheet.
- Connect sharing to outcomes. Review referral leaders and sharing activity beside the signup funnel to understand how word-of-mouth contributes to growth.
- Move from totals to context. Keep audience and referral signals together in the redesigned analytics workspace for a faster read on campaign performance.
v0.8.0
A fairer referral engine
Referral campaigns became easier to understand and harder to manipulate. Subscribers can see how their sharing activity progresses, while teams get safeguards and a clearer record of how rewards are earned.
Highlights
- Reward successful referrals. Award points when a referral results in a qualifying signup, with activity recorded in a transparent ledger instead of leaving participants to guess how totals changed.
- Make campaign progress visible. Give subscribers a clearer view of their position, earned progress, and referral activity so they can understand what to do next.
- Reduce abuse. Apply velocity checks and duplicate-signup safeguards to catch suspicious bursts and repeated entries before they distort campaign results.
- Keep the experience fair. Pair participant-facing progress with workspace-level protections so rewards are easier to trust for both organizers and subscribers.
v0.7.0
Email that keeps launches moving
Waitlyze added email tools for keeping subscribers informed from their first signup through campaign milestones. Teams can start from reusable templates, automate common messages, and connect a delivery provider that fits their setup.
Highlights
- Send branded campaigns. Create email campaigns from reusable templates, then adapt the content to match a launch and its audience.
- Automate timely updates. Send welcome messages and milestone emails as the list grows, keeping common follow-ups from becoming a manual task.
- Choose a delivery setup. Connect Resend or configure another supported email provider, with sender details managed for delivery from your domain.
- Keep email close to the audience. Work with subscriber and campaign context inside the same workspace used to manage the waitlist.
v0.6.0
Integrations and dependable delivery
This release connected waitlist activity to external tools and made background delivery easier to monitor. Workspace owners can manage integrations centrally and investigate failed deliveries instead of losing track of them.
Highlights
- React to important events. Send webhook notifications for key waitlist activity so connected systems can respond when signups and campaign events happen.
- Inspect delivery outcomes. Review webhook and email delivery history to see what was attempted and identify work that needs attention.
- Retry failures. Retry eligible webhook or email jobs from their delivery records rather than manually recreating the event.
- Manage connections centrally. Configure workspace integrations and their secrets in one settings area, keeping connection setup separate from day-to-day waitlist work.
v0.5.0
A more useful subscriber workspace
Subscriber management gained the tools teams need when a list becomes too large to review one record at a time. Search and filters help locate people, while richer profiles and file exchange make common audience tasks easier to complete.
Highlights
- Find the right subscriber. Search and filter the audience, then open an individual profile to review its signup details without scanning the whole list.
- Bring data in and take it out. Import signups from a file and export selected audience data for follow-up or analysis in other tools.
- Understand each record. Review verification status, referral activity, location, and acquisition details together in the subscriber profile.
- Work at both levels. Move between the audience list and an individual record while keeping the context needed to manage a growing waitlist.
v0.4.0
Know where signups come from
The first analytics release gave waitlist owners a way to measure launch performance inside Waitlyze. Core signup and conversion metrics can be viewed over a selected period and broken down by the channels and places that brought people in.
Highlights
- Measure the signup funnel. Track impressions, signups, conversion, and referral performance together to see how interest turns into audience growth.
- Attribute signups. Break down the audience by acquisition source and geography to identify where signups are coming from.
- Focus the reporting period. Use date filters to inspect a launch window, compare campaign periods, or narrow the view to the dates that matter.
- Start with an in-product view. Check the essential launch metrics directly in the workspace rather than assembling a report from separate sources.
v0.3.0
Make the waitlist feel like yours
Waitlist pages moved beyond a default form and became customizable launch destinations. A visual designer, reusable starting points, brand controls, and publishing choices help teams shape the signup experience to fit their campaign.
Highlights
- Design without code. Use the visual page designer to shape a branded waitlist page and its signup experience without building the page infrastructure yourself.
- Start from reusable foundations. Choose a template, apply custom colors, and save a brand kit so pages can be created consistently across campaigns.
- Publish where your audience expects you. Launch on a Waitlyze-hosted link or connect a custom domain for a more branded destination.
- Keep page creation and publishing together. Build, preview, and publish the public-facing page from the same workspace used to manage its signups.
v0.2.0
Sharing that brings in the next signup
The referral release gave every subscriber a way to invite someone else to the waitlist. Referral links, progress, and rankings helped teams turn sharing into a measurable part of a launch rather than an untracked extra.
Highlights
- Give each subscriber a personal link. Create a referral URL that can be shared directly, making it possible to connect an invitation with the signup it generated.
- Make participation visible. Add referral progress and rankings to the signup experience so participants can see how their sharing contributes to the campaign.
- Support campaign rewards. Use rewards to encourage referrals and give subscribers a reason to keep sharing after their initial signup.
- Trace growth back to its source. Track referrals to the people and channels that generated them, helping teams recognize the contributors behind new signups.
v0.1.0
The first Waitlyze waitlist
The first release brought the essential waitlist workflow into one place: create a campaign, publish a signup page, and manage the people who join. It gave early launches a simple starting point without requiring teams to build and operate their own signup infrastructure.
Highlights
- Create a waitlist quickly. Set up a campaign and publish a signup page without building or hosting the form infrastructure yourself.
- Collect signups centrally. Manage the people who join from one workspace instead of maintaining a separate list for each launch.
- Share a public signup page. Give a campaign a destination that can be shared with an audience and used to collect interest before launch.
- Start with the core loop. Publish the page, grow an audience, and manage signups together-the foundation for the page design, referral, analytics, and email capabilities that followed.
