    So I signed up on your website, and the confirmation email it sent me doesn't work. The link goes to localhost:8080.

Tried signing up, but (presumably) your configuration is pointing the signup link in the email at your local Dev environment... I tried replacing localhost with wax.run, but it didn't do anything. Lastly, considering you are all about marketing and growth, you'll need a landing page that demonstrates this. As in, your landing page needs to be better than most landing pages. While I'm all about minimalism, I found it quite jarring to just land on a page with a half moon on it, which doesn't really do anything. Some words about who you are would go a long way. There is a "team" link in the navigation and that also doesn't go anywhere (without a login presumably) Just some pointers. Pm me when we can sign up, because if you are the people who solve marketing for me, that would easily be the biggest revolution in my entrepreneurial journey. I hate marketing so much.

  Thanks for the feedback! I clearly made this comment prematurely, but the interest pushed to get a reasonable landing page in place and implement the login in production. Let me know what you think of the extended pitch (click "what is this"): https://www.wax.run/ https://www.wax.run/ Can you send me a note mike@wax.run ? Would like to stay in touch as we get closer to launching.
