🌟 Waiting Room queue - high traffic event purchase #178

Open islandmix opened 2 weeks ago

islandmix commented 2 weeks ago

Some websites slow to a crawl when they release tickets for purchase at a specific advertised time. Some folks have their sessions time out.. and give up trying to purchase

Describe the solution you'd like Need ability to put users in a waiting room queue but something that also counts down to show where they are in the queue.

Describe alternatives you've considered Any option to minimize time outs during checkout

Additional context Adding screenshot of what ppl see on another platform but it doesn't have the queue countdown to indicate where u ate in queue Screenshot_20240831_172021_WhatsApp

Thanks for the suggestion, @islandmix! A waiting room feature with a queue countdown would indeed be a great addition. The waiting room shown in the screenshot you provided is powered by Cloudflare. If you need this functionality right away, you can set up Cloudflare without making any changes to Hi.Events.
