An Alternative to LaunchRock
2 points by myersgp 4511 days ago
Does anyone know of an alternative to LaunchRock, where the email addresses obtained are validated, there is an API, and a way to migrate the data out?

My friend recently tackled this in a hackathon using FireBase as the backend, and gh-pages as a static host. He hasn't open sourced it yet, though (I've just pinged him with this thread).

It will be available at github.com/shashankmehta/firelaunch as soon as he does.

That's me. While it is ready for use I wanted to clean up the code for deployment.

@myersgp if you want I can add you as a collaborator on GitHub.

[Firebase Community Manager here] I'm interested in seeing Firelaunch when your friend open sources yet!

Working on it now. Hopefully I'll be done with it soon. Coding with my left hand only. Right hand has stitches!

I could add you on GH so that you can give me feedback on it. Let me know if you are interested.

Might want to check out leadpages.net, only bummer is that it's not free. Also, doesn't square space offer launch pages?
