Hi HN! I built ReferralLoop after getting frustrated with expensive waitlist tools that lacked developer-friendly features.
What it does: Creates waitlists where people move UP in line by referring friends. The viral loop is automatic - each referral = position boost.
Key features:
- Built-in referral tracking
- REST API with rate limiting (Started Plan)
- Webhooks for real-time events
- Zapier integration
- Custom domains (Growth plan)
- Analytics dashboard
Tech stack:
- Next.js 16 (App Router + Server Actions)
- Supabase (PostgreSQL with RLS)
- TypeScript
- Stripe for billing
What makes it different:
1. Actually affordable ($29/mo vs $79+ competitors)
2. API/webhooks included (not $200/mo add-on)
3. Free tier that's useful (100 signups)
4. Built by developer, for developers

Try it: https://referralloop.dev
Open to feedback! What would make you use this vs building your own waitlist?
(Also happy to answer any technical questions about the architecture)
