Where do the signups actually go?

Into an in-memory Map that lives as long as the Node process, so a serverless instance starts empty. That is deliberate: the template ships with no database and no credentials. lib/waitlist/store.ts keeps three signatures, insertSignup, getJoinedCount and getStats, so replacing it with real persistence touches nothing above it.

Is the joined count a real number?

It is a seed plus real signups. counterConfig.seedJoinedCount starts at 2431 and the store adds every address that has joined this process. Set the seed to 0 to start from nothing, or flip showCounter to false to drop the badge entirely.

Does it need environment variables or API keys?

It runs with none. NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL is optional and only sets the origin for canonical URLs, the sitemap, robots.txt and the social card, and it is inlined at build time, so set it before the build rather than before the start. REUI_LICENSE_KEY is read by the shadcn CLI when installing registry items, never by the app.

Overture - Next.js Waitlist Template

Name: Overture
Author: ReUI

new

A one page pre-launch waitlist: animated screenshot wallpaper, a signup form with bot screening and rate limiting, and full SEO metadata.

What is included

E-commerce

Two config files. Headline, badge and seeded counter all live in lib/config.

Pointer-tracked light rays. A spotlight trails the cursor on two springs, driven by motion values so pointer moves never re-render.

Metadata already filled in. Canonical URL, OG and Twitter cards, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and WebSite JSON-LD carrying a JoinAction.

Bot screening, no CAPTCHA. A hidden company field and a one second time trap, both answered vaguely.

Every form state built. Loading, success, already joined and error each render, with focus returned to the input after a failure.

Animated screenshot wallpaper. Five screenshot rows tilt 6 degrees and drift at their own speeds.

Rate limited signup API. POST /api/waitlist caps five requests a minute per IP and lowercases addresses so casing cannot duplicate.

Who it is for

Founders launching before the product ships The signup route already handles a repeat address and a sixth submit inside a minute.
Collecting emails before the backend exists Signups run through three functions in store.ts, so swapping in Postgres touches nothing above.
Designers reskinning the wallpaper to their product Swap the paths in marquee-slides.ts; the tilt, vignette and spotlight stay put.
