I've been working on https://growfa.st.

A lot of times, websites suggest I sign up for a 5-10% discount/promo code. That might lead to a sale and they get one more user to their email list.

GrowFast takes that a step furtver by offering a widget that provides different tasks for the user to complete in order to receive the promo code. The tasks range between user generated content leading to more organic traffic, user reviews and even testimonials (haven't decided fully on the tasks just yet).

I think this is a cool concept and I hope companies think likewise.



I like the effect on the email signup but it appears to make my android 14 phone/firefox mobile cough blood.


Hahaha, really gotta fix that website asap lol. Thanks for the input though!
