Version notes

v0.2 - Prevent Rage Clicking

I've updated the script to only send the upvote click event after 0.2 seconds. You can adjust the time if needed, but I find this is enough time to prevent spamming the button while still feeling responsive.

"We've been using Memberstack for a long time, and it has helped us achieve things we would have never thought possible using Webflow. It's allowed us to build platforms with great depth and functionality and the team behind it has always been super helpful and receptive to feedback"

Jamie Debnam

"Been building a membership site with Memberstack and Jetboost for a client. Feels like magic building with these tools. As someone who’s worked in an agency where some of these apps were coded from scratch, I finally get the hype now. This is a lot faster and a lot cheaper."

Félix Meens
Webflix Studio

"One of the best products to start a membership site - I like the ease of use of Memberstack. I was able to my membership site up and running within a day. Doesn't get easier than that. Also provides the functionality I need to make the user experience more custom."

"My business wouldn't be what it is without Memberstack. If you think $30/month is expensive, try hiring a developer to integrate custom recommendations into your site for that price. Incredibly flexible set of tools for those willing to put in some minimal efforts to watch their well put together documentation."

Riley Brown

"The Slack community is one of the most active I've seen and fellow customers are willing to jump in to answer questions and offer solutions. I've done in-depth evaluations of alternative tools and we always come back to Memberstack - save yourself the time and give it a shot."
