Looks great, but your sticky header/nav bar takes up a quarter of the browser on my 13" MacBook. I'm all for sticky nav, but please make it smaller!

Agreed, especially when there is a ton of unused horizontal real estate on my screen. If you want to pin stuff, put it there. It's basically the 1024x768 browsing experience.

In case anyone from launchrock is reading this: I'd be much more likely to use launchrock if I could embed the relevant functionality (signups, sharing, referrals) using javascript. You're about to reimplement every tool that somebody would want to use to set up a landing page, beginning with an editor. What if I want to use a wordpress blog as my landing page. What if I wanted to embed the launchrock lead gen tools…

We do offer a JS embed option just for this. Just chose the widget option when you get started.

LaunchRock needs better compliance with CAN SPAM, perhaps double opt-in integration with a email marketing platform like MailChimp, AWeber, et. al. It should also have an option for unsubscribing, even with the automatically generated email. And at least a basic privacy policy integration that complies with Google AdWords.. because traffic doesn't just magically appear on your launch page.
