Looks really good.

I tried to fill out the form to get an invite, but when I pressed Enter, the form wasn't sent, instead it added a new line to the input field.

Hope this helps, and excuse me for my English - not my main language :)

Think this was due to the uptick in traffic - scaled up the heroku processes to accomodate. Should be ok now!

Skype is generally a good/fast way to communicate - especially when trying to explain something. Certain tasks might not need it, but it's generally the best option in my opinion!

request invite button for sensei doesn't seem to do anything?

EDIT: yeah looking at the network requests it's giving an internal server error.

Gathering a solid base of sensei in order to have requests for help filled in a sensible way. Sign up! :)

I don't think so I'm getting a very similar issue.
