  After spending a few minutes browsing the site, I still don't get how it works. The JS makes sense, but what happens on the back end to save the edited content? How does it work with "any CMS"?

  As a web developer, I don't need an explanation of how "magical" this it is to be able to edit on the page, but I do need to know how it works!

  If you're targeting this at developers, the well-designed CTAs and screencasts matter less that a simple explanation of what's actually going on. I don't need to read that I can "quickly integrate" -- I just want to know the exact details and make my own judgement.

  I haven't seen anyone else point this out, so I will - that background bugs me to no end!

  Here's an alternative image, in half the filesize, that is much easier on the eyes: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/291229/anywhere2.jpg

  And this is what it looks like: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/291229/copybar.png

  Whether or not you use it, thanks for the write up!

  You should investigate those bounces, they're pretty high for traffic like this.

  Saw it last week as well. Looks nice. What do you use to make the content directly editable? A javascript library of some sort?
