Is there any trick to getting a beta to try this out?

If you add your email to your HN profile, or at least a hint to it, I can send you one. Or you can email me. (See my profile.) EDIT: all out :(

Can you spare one for me as well? (email's in the profile)

It was so much fun to build this package. Atom is very modular, and any piece of functionality in the editor is open to being extended. The documentation still has some ways to go (events aren't documented, for example), but I'm excited about the future of this editor!

Shouldn't this package be called "covalent"?

Perfect.

the (full!) source [0] of the extension i think shows how easy it is to extend the editor. i am impressed.

Join the ##atom-invitations channel on freenode and ask for an invite there. Plenty of folks sharing.

It's promising to see that features like this can be hacked into the editor in a very short amount of time.

I would love to find out what emacs-like features I could implement myself. Anyone that can help me with an invite? (email in my profile)

Do we really need random Atom extensions posted two hours after the first commit? Is this the shortest time from initial commit (like, it looks like this is the real first commit instead of a squash-like commit for release)?

I guess we do, this really shows the extensible nature of Atom. So you get an idea, you pull some code together (only 70 lines!) and it works. I think that is reason enough to post it.
