I like this idea, but there have been so many people who put up a landing page to gauge interest before even starting a project, that when I see a 2 day old domain with nothing but a waiting list signup, I gotta ask - have you actually started work on this, or are you just checking the interest level?

You are right to be skeptical - this is a really new idea that I did just get started on this week. To answer your question:

I've investigated whether it's feasible technically, talked with a few people who would use it to refine the concept and built a really rough prototype of the UI.

Is this just to gauge interest? Yes. In doing that though I have found a first customer that wants to switch from their current system if it works as advertised. I can't promise it will but I definitely will try :)

Thanks for your question, I hope you'll give it a shot once it launches.
