Does anyone know of an alternative to LaunchRock, where the email addresses obtained are validated, there is an API, and a way to migrate the data out?

My friend recently tackled this in a hackathon using FireBase as the backend, and gh-pages as a static host. He hasn't open sourced it yet, though (I've just pinged him with this thread).

It will be available at github.com/shashankmehta/firelaunch as soon as he does.

Might want to check out leadpages.net, only bummer is that it's not free. Also, doesn't square space offer launch pages?

[Firebase Community Manager here] I'm interested in seeing Firelaunch when your friend open sources yet!

That's me. While it is ready for use I wanted to clean up the code for deployment.

@myersgp if you want I can add you as a collaborator on GitHub.

Working on it now. Hopefully I'll be done with it soon. Coding with my left hand only. Right hand has stitches!

I could add you on GH so that you can give me feedback on it. Let me know if you are interested.
