Dang, HN’s moderator, have written about this before. Here is a recent example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35178503 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35178503 Generally speaking, a waitlist isn’t interesting and doesn’t add value because users can’t try the product. It might be valuable to the creator but it can wait to be announced on HN when the product is ready. As some others have suggested, you could write a detailed blog post about the values and share other details to see if that is valuable to the community and perhaps offer an opt in on your blog instead. Good luck!
