This would be great for prepping a fan base for a Kickstarter (or the like). I recently have had frustration with wanting a reminder for a product release on Kickstarter but all the company is doing is a single static page. Get your stuff together status audio. It won't stop me from checking for the drop regularly but I am an enthusiast about their products. I'd think that this could be helpful for web comic artists for new merch drops and similar crowd fund campaigns. I know that it would be great from the fan's perspective at least.

This is an awesome idea we hadn't thought of. What was the product? We'll reach out to the team!
Status Audio, I have about one of everything they've made so far. https://www.status.co/pages/between-lp2 The page does have a subscribe option on the desktop page (I rarely check my email via computer these days). But yes, there are a ton of artists that need to gauge interest and track notices out to their fans. They make a good amount of their money via merch versus ads. Webtoons handles their signed artists but there are a ton of the unsigned ones that rely on patron and etsy for income. Is there a way to link through articles about the artist/product to the sign up or have an embedded option on a third party's page?
