Yes, I think review-before-activate is a key feature.

My thought was that it might be nice to welcome people with their name
rather than email address, including in the sign-up confirmation email
and the activation screen.  But maybe it isn't so important.  Showing
the email address instead at least reminds people exactly what they
need to use to login.  Looking at other login forms, I notice that
Google's generic sign-in form doesn't ask for a name:

https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&hl=en

But their Gmail signup form does:

https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail

So I suppose we may not need to ask for the name up front after all.

Makes sense.

Looks good (http://rainmap.labs.hackd.net/).

Well, what I mean is that I'd like the option to surround it with the
exact chrome as seen on nmap.org, insecure.org, seclists.org,
sectools.org, etc.  I can show you more about how we do that next time
we chat. The application menus and the like would be inside the main
content area of the chrome.  It is possible that we'd want the site to
go chromeless, but I'd like to at least have the option to preserve
the same look and feel and navigation menus as the other sites.

Cheers,
Fyodor
