Validation waitlists for serious ideas

Launch the waitlist before the product gets heavy.

Copy a prompt, let your agent configure the open-source kit, and get a Validation waitlist live with signup, survey, referrals, notifications, and a founder-readable CRM.

Project 1 is live

The runtime is open-source. The hosted layer comes next.

The kit is already useful on its own: clone it, configure one project file, deploy to Vercel, and collect Validation evidence. waitlis.st will wrap that foundation with smoother onboarding.

From prompt to live waitlist

The setup path should feel linear.

waitlis.st is designed around the way founders increasingly work: give an agent the right context, configure the existing system, and ship the smallest useful Validation surface.

1

Copy the prompt

Paste the waitlis.st setup prompt into your preferred coding agent. It starts by understanding the idea, ICP, offer, survey, and proof needed.

Prompt v2026-10-01Full prompt copies to clipboard

Use the ExitOS Waitlist Kit repo to configure a minimal Validation waitlist for my project. First understand my product, ICP, offer, survey and theme, then configure the existing boilerplate rather than redesigning it.

Works with the agents founders already use.

2

Configure the kit

The agent updates one typed project config: headline, offer, reasons, FAQ, survey, theme, referral copy, and temporary Validation mark.

No page-builder fiddling. No redesigning the flow.

3

Connect storage

Use Notion for a founder-readable Validation CRM or Postgres when you want a more technical production database.

Project 2 will make Notion OAuth the polished path.

4

Deploy and get notified

Ship to Vercel, collect signups, run the survey, generate referral links, and receive founder notifications when new intent arrives.

The open-source kit stays yours to customize.

Built for the Validate stage, not generic launch theatre.

Not a generic landing page. Not a SaaS starter kit. A narrow system for testing whether a business idea is worth building.

Live in an afternoon

Copy the setup prompt into your coding agent, answer the product questions, deploy the generated waitlist, and start collecting evidence.

Know when intent arrives

Each new signup can trigger a founder notification, while completed surveys give you richer context than a plain email list.

Free, open, and flexible

The runtime is open source. Change the template, theme, copy, storage, survey, and deployment path when your Validation needs it.

Next: hosted onboarding.

Project 2 will add the managed pieces that do not belong in the open-source runtime: Notion OAuth, delayed Notify emails, and a simpler founder setup path.
