I got a couple of "An unexpected error has occurred." pages on the home page and the "About" page.

The links are also, maddeningly, inaccessible to [Vimium](https://vimium.github.io/). That's annoyingly too-common. Any reason why they can't be regular HTML links? I'd imagine that screen readers and other software would have similar problems.

Ack, we're on that
Having lots of fun with this app! Super slick experience and our site was instantly up (the onuniverse.com site load faster than the custom domains...probably cause of the DNS propagation I'm guessing).

I'm at http://ausomeapps.onuniverse.com, though I should've also picked up http://pokemon.onuniverse.com while I had the chance...lol
