Hi HN!

A few months ago, I was struggling to get traction for my side project. As a tech guy, I'm quite a noob in marketing.

I built a waitlist, posted on Twitter and LinkedIn… but nothing really moved.

I realized the issue wasn’t just about getting traffic — it was about giving people a reason to share.

So I created WaitlistBoost:

Turn your waitlist into a viral leaderboard game where users earn rewards by inviting others. Incentivize your early users to become your best promoters. See some analytics and track engagement. You have your best referrers on a leaderboard.

It’s free to start.

If you’re launching something and struggling to grow your audience, maybe this can help.

I hope so Clement
