Balloon Ride waitlist widget
A fox in aviator goggles pilots a striped hot-air balloon over rolling farmland, firing the burner to climb over every hill as it drifts past. A little songbird lands on the basket rope for the ride and flies on ahead before the loop comes round. Watch the sheep on the near hill: it looks up every time the balloon goes over. The hills, the balloon and the bird were painted with Amazon Bedrock and traced into vector art.

Questions
What is a waitlist widget?
A signup form you put on your own website so people can join a waitlist before you launch. Ours puts a looping scene above the form that celebrates when someone joins.
How do I add a waitlist to my website?
Pick a scene, set your title, colour and layout, enter your website and email, and paste the one snippet you get where the form should appear. Signups start straight away.
Does it work with Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or Shopify?
Yes. Anywhere you can paste an HTML embed or custom code block, the snippet works: it is a few lines of HTML with one script.
Where do the signups go?
Into a waitlist on WaitlistApp.org. Your private link shows who has joined and lets you keep the list in an account.
Will it slow my page down?
No. The script loads after your page, the scene is drawn only when it scrolls into view, and it pauses when off screen.
Can I change the speed, colour or title later?
Yes. They are plain attributes on the snippet (data-wlo-duration, data-wlo-accent, data-wlo-size); edit them on your page and the widget follows.
Can I have more than one waitlist on my website?
One website, one waitlist. If your site already has one, we point you to where you can manage it.
What about visitors who find motion distracting?
If their device asks for reduced motion they see a still frame, and everyone else can pause the scene.
