Agreed. I wish I could reach out to the author, learn more, and see where his product went. This is the stuff that fascinates me and something we see all the time at work - people with ideas they can't shake and are willing to take risks in order to see it become a reality.

I don't necessarily think building something was the right first move though. I'm a big fan of PG's "Do Things that Don't Scale", so I created https://manualviableproduct.com in my spare time to help people like this.

You should also get some information about the computer through on the email. If someone is on IE8 with an 800x600 monitor then they are a different class of customer to someone running - say - Chrome on Linux. Knowing someone is 'a Mac user' is also a telling signal if you intend to sell them something.

Also time on site is useful to know. Did they read the page? Maybe if they spent a good few minutes with the page open.

IP address - GeoIP to city with country - is also a useful thing to know. Do you really want to respond to that guy where shipping prices mean that a sale is effectively unrealistic?

Such mild-deep-stalking would be helpful to your customers and make your service appeal to a wider audience.

At first I thought this was a slimmer version of launchrock but it appears this for use cases where you already have a product to sell... I think?

Could you please provide an actual example of a website containing the button, im having a hard time visualising it.

I'll reach out to you.

I would also love to hear what your product is and how you're succeeding.
