One thing first: The design of the waiting room/lobby is really beautiful!

But I dont like the simplicity of the landing page. It looks a bit boring and bland to me. Maybe show a nice example lobby (or a screenshot) directly at the beginning. Also maybe add some color and a few icons to the landing page.

This could also be used when revealing an app or a new platform. Like the countdown timer some websites use. So maybe you could adapt this idea to other use cases.

Also an idea for a feature: Maybe add a simple chat to the waiting room where people can ask questions or just talk before the event starts.

But if I would host online events, I think I would use it. Makes the whole thing seem more professional and special/exclusive.

Hi HN, this is fun social utility I hacked together over the past couple of days. I see it in the same vein as Bitly and Linktree-- filling a small gap in existing in existing products.

If you host online events, is this something you would use? What would it take to get there? Or is it simply not worth the extra steps involved?
