Ask HN: Are there any services for collecting emails pre-launch?

#1
I'd like to build up a little hype for a game I'm making by having a landing page with a video, and collecting emails before I launch.

Are there any good services that create something like this? I would make the page myself, but I think my time is better spent improving the app.

Thanks

Service to collect emails via a form you can embed in a page, and manage said mailing list? Yes. You can find a few mentioned on this page:

http://steveblank.com/tools-and-blogs-for-entrepreneurs/

FWIW, I chose MailChimp for that, but there are plenty of other choices.

If you want something that goes even further, that is, doing the page, video, and everything, plus email, then the answer is "I'm not sure." Probably there are, but I haven't really looked.

You might find value in something like LaunchRock.com, but I'm not sure they're exactly what you're looking for.

Are you talking about something like http://launchrock.com ?

Yes, but it looks like it's invite only right now?

You just need to sign up 3 email addresses from your invite link. Nothing stops you from doing that with 3 of your own addresses.

I'm a fan of MailChimp.
