The waitlist appearance and behavior can be customized through the ZAP_DEFAULT_SETTINGS configuration:

// zap.config.ts
export const ZAP_DEFAULT_SETTINGS: ZapSettings = {
  WAITLIST: {
    ENABLE_WAITLIST_PAGE: false,
    TITLE: "try Zap.ts",
    DESCRIPTION: "be the first to build applications as fast as a zap.",
    SHOW_COUNT: true, // Display current signup count
  },
  // ...other settings
};

Configuration Options

• ENABLE_WAITLIST_AGE: The flag to enable this feature or not.
• TITLE: The main heading displayed on the waitlist page
• DESCRIPTION: Subtitle or tagline explaining the value proposition
