That's a clever idea and I like the concept of getting feedback "early and often."

I do have some questions though. It is unclear whether I can take advantage of your service without hiring Polymathic. Is it just an environment for companies you are building? Also, I couldn't register (http://thejun.to/registration ends as a 404) so I'm unsure, other than offering feedback on logos and such, what I could do on the site.

Awesome, working to fix that now.

Basically, for the immediate moment there's no reason to register as you can comment on updates using Livefyre (Twitter, FB, etc.) Once these first projects go into alphas and betas (and need testing/feedback), registration will come back into play and we'll also sync it with the commenting system.

Thanks so much for your feedback!
