Built @Lighthouse_app_ to help indie builders get first users with waitlist + survey, and keep them with newsletter + feedback.
Now I have early users myself, so I'm asking them for feedback. Via Lighthouse, of course.
My own product on my own users. Cool, right?
Been shipping Lighthouse as fast as I can since launch. Works fine, but the UI wasn't great.
First polish pass β

Better, right?
Owners can now pick their own brand color from the dashboard.
Working on a new product but haven't actually validated the idea yet?
Here's a free offer.
One of the best ways to validate is a waitlist with a few survey questions, not just collecting emails. That way you don't just get signups, you learn who they are and what they actually want.
Here's what one looks like: https://t.co/noy8MZg5aS
I'll build that waitlist for your product in a minute, for free. Share it wherever you like, and I'll send you a CSV report of everyone who signed up plus their answers.
Want one? Reply with a bit about your product and it'll be ready.
Ever talked to an AI agent about an idea and it told you to "build a waitlist first to validate it"?
Sounds simple. Until you actually try.
Domain. Backend. Email service. Signup form. Database. A few hours of setup at minimum, just to start collecting names. By the time it's live, half the momentum is already gone.
So I built lighthouse.
From an indie dev, for indie devs and makers.
β Validate your idea
Not just a waitlist. Attach survey questions (text fields, ratings, multiple choice) to every signup. By the time you hit your first 100 emails, you don't have a list. You have insight on what people actually want.
βοΈ Keep your customers
Built-in newsletter. Your waitlist signups become subscribers in one click. No CSV exports, no juggling four tools, no losing momentum between "they signed up" and "they hear from you again."
π¬ Grow with feedback
You can't grow if you don't know what your customers think. Lighthouse gives you a public feedback page: visitors leave an email, a rating, and what's on their mind. You reply right from the dashboard.
π² QR code for every page
Every page (waitlist, survey, newsletter, feedback) comes with its own.
Going to a meetup? Show the QR.
Coffee shop bulletin board? Print and pin.
Gym, co-working space, club bathroom wall? Stick it up. Free distribution. π―
π REST API on top of everything
Wire Lighthouse straight into your live product. Onboarding answers become segmentable, emailable data inside your app.
Validate. Keep. Grow.
One toolkit for the first 100 users, and what comes after.
