Existing email capture tools can be rude and cause your best potential leads to disengage. You need a simple, unobtrusive way to collect emails from your most interested customers.

Good balance between asking the visitor for their email and being demanding or annoying.
How does the “Exit-intent Pop” work?
The fact that it not yet works on mobile (unless I misunderstood?) is a big minus for now though… Will be keeping an eye on this!
@anna_0x Hi Anna, exit-intent works by waiting for the mouse to move to the top of the screen and off the page, showing that the user is going to access the tab bar.
Most exit-intent popups pop up right away though, while Polite Pop waits a certain amount of time and for a certain amount of scroll before being able to trigger the exit-intent (this is why it's polite!)
Mobile support is one of our top requested features and should be coming within a month or so.
Thank you for commenting!!

@panphora oh, sounds nice! You know I visited some websites that had a pop up that prevented you from closing the tab unless you closed it first (something like “are you sure you want to leave?”)
No idea how they did that but it was annoying as hell. Showing up a discrete notification when it looks like someone is about to leave though seems perfectly fine. 😁
I noticed that the pop-up has a relatively distinct look. Is it possible to customize it to make it look different, so as to fit into a website's existing styling? If not, is that on the roadmap?

Terrific idea. Not only is it a disruptive way to engage with visitors, but who wouldn't love to have a hedgehog rolling its way onto our screen?
Hi Product Hunters 😻😻😻
Long-time indie maker here with my latest project: Polite Pop.
Polite Pop is a small, polite pop-in message that asks your website visitors to subscribe to your email list. It’s pleasant and unobtrusive, so people enjoy it and genuinely want to see what you offer.
This is, by far, my most exciting product launch! 🚀
I built the first version 2 years ago and, while it got a lot of traction, it still suffered from the main problem most email capture tools have: it was a popup. 🤮 Even I got annoyed by using it on my own websites…
So I rethought everything from scratch and pivoted to a much more polite approach.
The feedback changed — a dozen beta testers signed up within weeks, and, before long, I started getting dozens of glowing testimonials.
Here’s what one of them has to say:
“As a UX designer I’ve always been wary of popups appearing out of nowhere and disrupting a visitor’s experience.
“I love that Polite Pop helps you give visitors a gentle nudge that sparks curiosity instead of annoying them for the sake of a potential conversion.”
— Daniela, CtrlAlt.CC

I don't usually write comments in here but wanted to share that I had Polite Pop on my site (ctrlalt.cc) for a few weeks now & site visitors love it! It catches attention without being intrusive and it has a super cute mascot to help 🤩 It's also super easy to set up & style to make it your own.
100% would recommend
I have to say this: I love the little hedgehog as a mascot 🥰 And the polite approach is always the best when it comes down to long-lasting relationships with your community, so the idea behind the Polite Pop is great too. Congrats on the launch!
