Good to know its multi-language. There seems to be a mixup though; the button on the comment page says 'Arreeverderchi', which I believe is spanish or italian, but I'm not sure what it means. What happens when I click that button?

Arrivederci is Italian for goodbye. I assume the spelling is intended to be humourous.

Possible allusion to this scene in Inglorious Bastards? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ZouZSlNSc (The slightly phonetic spelling being of the last word in the clip)

Nice and simple, I like it.

Potential security/privacy issue though: I can retrieve anyone's submission(s) with some simple cookie manipulation. I suppose this is a side-effect of the "no logging in" method, but it might be nice to allow people to delete their posts.

Besides the obvious issues with Javascript injection, I really love the design. I think you did a really good job here, the interface is simple and effective and this is definitely one of the nicely designed feedback apps I've seen (although I haven't seen too many, it's still a compliment). It's sad that people resorted to spamming the public link you posted with porn and annoying Javascript alert boxes. I hope you get the issues solved soon.

I have a recommendation however for the introduction text on the homepage, you've got orange text on an orange background which is impossible to read. I made a couple of little Developer Tool modifications and found the below CSS to make it more readable.

.primary-footer { font-size: 0.8em; color: #EFEFEF; font-weight: normal; }

I'm a collaborator on the project and we're tidying up all these loopholes, but thanks for the heads up. Matts response is "Oops, I’m a designer!".

Haha, cool. There's another similar issue (which your team may already be aware of) that I'd be happy to point out less-publicly if you want to send me an email. Anyway, nice project!
