Ask HN: alternatives to launchrock?
I'm looking for an easy squeeze/email capture for a product that I'll be launching this summer (a backpack) and I wanted to know what alternatives to launchrock were around and what your experiences with them were like.
Did you use a service or build it yourself? or what?
- benologist 13y agoI spent yesterday and today playing with the API from MailChimp, it's easy to use + they have various embeddable widgets. It would be viable to just use them although you'd need something for the analytics as well.
- armenarmen 13y agoWould google analytics do the trick?
- benologist 13y agoYeah I think it'd be okay, although LaunchRock also looks at Twitter and LinkedIn sharing.
- mlebel 13y agoWhat's your email? I'll shoot you our custom solution that uses Campaign Monitor to collect emails.
- armenarmen 13y agoGreat! I'll hit you up tonight!

- brotchie 13y agoI've recently used Prefinery (https://www.prefinery.com/ https://www.prefinery.com/) to handle a Beta launch. Highly recommended. Out-of-the-box support for "viral" social referrals, exporting to MailChimp, webhooks to notify of new sign-ups. Nice minimalist bootstrap interface as well.
- armenarmen 13y agoNeat, I'm looking at it right now!
- makerops 13y agoThere is a great project by Daniel Kehoe, that I used for http://makerops.com http://makerops.com: https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-prelaunch-signup https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-prelaunch-signup This, along with a 5-10$ bootstrap theme and heroku, makes it very easy, and it integrates with mailchimp.
- pclark 13y agowhats your email? we've built this at userfox and would love to get you involved. we'll do everything for you. i am also interested because i care deeply about backpacks.
- armenarmen 13y agoCool! I'll shoot you an email tonight!
- nistha0202 13y agoHi, I built launchvalue - http://launchvalue.com/ http://launchvalue.com/ that offers clean interface with google analytics and twitter integration. I also offer customized solution that you can self host for more control on a consulting basis. Let me know if you might be interested.
- hkarthik 13y agoI vote for http://kickofflabs.com http://kickofflabs.com I know both cofounders and have worked with them in the past. They're standup guys and provide great support too.
