#2Man, well done. Very well done.
Just a quick suggestion: I think having "Discover Pivots" on a separate Reddit- or HN-style ranking page might be better than having a bunch of popup windows.

+1 on that! Another suggestion: Is it possible to make private posts?

Thank you! Yeah I know, the UI for discovering pivots is very early -- there is just so much to do and we were busy refining the pivot view first. We are definitely thinking about a concept for the homepage, possibly with snapshots of how the pivot looks. Will come next week!

The only marketing so far was to post it to HN and Forrst, and at a usually bad time too (Saturday evening). But people upvoted it a lot and it was #1 almost all Sunday: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2373785

#9I'm liking the potential of these ideas:
"extending the use-szenarious (eg inviting friends to share pivots for your own website), showing a tree of pivots with their forks and ancestors"
It would be really useful to see a history of versions and easily toggle between them.

#10Is there a way to specify the "license" for the pivot code? This might be handy--sites could take free improvements if they want--if a devoted user wanted to improve a site they dearly loved.
Additionally, you could let people sell pivots right on the site. I'm sure you're thinking of these things, though.
