Expected impact

Turns a launch queue into a viral loop; position moves up with referrals.

Why it works

Robinhood's referral waitlist reached 1,000,000 signups pre-launch, with each user averaging three additional referred signups.

The prototype prompt

This is the spec Growthtyping compiles for you. The {{brand.*}} tokens are replaced with colors, fonts, radii, and voice pulled from your brand — so the render comes out on-brand, not generic.

PATTERN SPEC: A waitlist section for {{brand.site}}: email capture with a {{brand.primary}} join button, then a state showing queue position in large {{brand.heading_font}} 700 type, a personal referral link in a bordered {{brand.border}} chip with copy button, and a 3-rung ladder listing referral counts needed to skip ahead. Positive movement indicators in {{brand.success}}.
