Really appreciate the detailed feedback.

* Email on generation is a good idea. Also, I don't have a Gem cache system yet which will help.

* Flickering is because some of the inputs have to compute a lot of values @ Backbone model layer. Definitely opportunity for optimization.

* Thanks :)

* A lot of users have asked for user contributed features. The problem is it's hard to extract an API from my generation system but I hope to in the future.

* Very doable. I just haven't written private repo support in because I'd have to deal a lot of auth/selection issues which isn't a priority right now.

* Vagrant would be great.

For a lot of these, I just don't have time yet but all candidates for the future.

Thanks again.

Re the auth issues, why not let people clone / download a zip direct from you, skipping the github auth.

presumably each step is being done as a git commit, so there'd need to be a git install done locally for creation, then zipping, then cleanup afterwards. I don't think it's unreasonable, but I'm guessing there's some 'post to github' gem that's being used directly right now and this other option would require more work.
