Waitlist, feature requests and status page

FastStaq includes growth and community tools: a waitlist (with a waitlist-only launch mode), a feature-request voting board, and a public status page.

Waitlist

Collect interested users before you open up:

• Visitors sign up to the waitlist with their email.
• Disposable-email domains are blocked, and you can extend the blocklist with WAITLIST_DISPOSABLE_TLDS without a code change.
• Invite people off the waitlist when you are ready; invitations are delivered by email.

Waitlist-only mode

To run a gated launch, turn on waitlist-only mode so the app sits behind a waitlist wall:

# server/.env (runtime; restart API)
WAITLIST_ONLY=true

# client/.env (baked at build time; rebuild + redeploy client)
NEXT_PUBLIC_WAITLIST_ONLY=true

Both flags must agree so the client wall and server wall match. ADMIN/OWNER accounts bypass the wall, and an allowlist permits essential endpoints. The server returns 503 WAITLIST_ONLY_MODE for blocked requests.

Feature requests

Let users shape the roadmap:

• Users submit feature requests and vote on them.
• You triage, update status, and communicate what is planned or shipped.
• This doubles as social proof that you listen to customers.

Status page

Publish a public status page so customers can see uptime and incidents, reducing "is it down?" tickets during an incident.
