/me likes!

One minor suggestion, it would be cool if you could put a link to the 
source of the app so that people that get to it from other sources might 
understand that this is an acre app and that they might clone it and 
improve on it on their own.

I personally found out that people are much more likely to experiment 
and contribute features if you make it easier for them to clone your app 
and allow them to experiment on their own.

See, for example, the bottom of
