No problem. Here's a few follow up questions that aren't listed in your FAQ if you don't mind answering them. Maybe some of them can become FAQ items later.
What do you do to combat spam and what does the work flow look like to moderate it?
Is it possible to change the word "remark" to "reply" as an end user?
What does the work flow look like for users to edit their posts? Can they edit them forever or is it time locked sort of like HN's comments?
If a user deletes a reply, do all of the child replies get deleted or does the original parent reply that was deleted get renamed to "deleted" while keeping children replies in tact?
Is there a way to restrict users from posting links unless they have an account or are pre-approved? Do you mark those links as nofollow, ugc or something else?
Can you disable certain things like image tags so users can't embed images or other media (video, iframes, etc.)?
Is there a way to black list specific user names from being registered?
Can unverified users edit or delete their own messages? If so, how does that work?
If an unverified person creates an account later on, will their original unverified comments get changed to their new username?
Are registered user names from verified users protected from ever being used again?
How long are users verified for after using the magic link? What does the user experience look like for verified users who end up being logged out?
What would the migration process look like from Disqus to Remarkbox? Disqus doesn't give site owners the email addresses of users, which makes me think I would end up losing who posted what for thousands of comments since they would all be classified as "unverified" comments?
For posts with hundreds of comments, is there pagination or a load more feature?
Is it possible to lazy load the comments based on the scroll position of the device viewing the site? For example, your iframe isn't loaded until it's close to being visible? If so, is this an option you can turn on and off?
Is it possible to customize the date output of comments? I noticed it outputs dates like 8y, 213d ago which in my opinion is a bit unnatural.
Is there a way to customize the "link" functionality? Right now after clicking it, there's a jarring user experience where it auto-scrolls the page. I'm not sure what the intent of this is. Is it to prepare for a user to manually copy the link? Could that be replaced with a copy link to clipboard?
Have you given any thought on making a specific comment's date output the permalink href instead of the user name? I clicked a user name thinking it would show me a list of their comments but it was really their specific comment. I know you can click the avatar but it's really confusing because clicking a user name everywhere else would typically bring you to a user's profile, not the specific thing they created.
If a user verifies an account on site A, will they already be verified on site B? If so, is there a way to disable the link to show a user's comments since it would now be listing their comments from other sites.
From what region of the world do you host the embed link and serve the iframe from? Is there a CDN in front of it?
Can you get the count of comments near the remark comment box itself? When viewing a post that has a Disqus embed you can output the comment count above it. It's basically a part of the widget. That's a nice number to have.
Do you have a list of sites using Remarkbox that aren't your own sites?
The preview functionality is a bit wobbly, it jumps around a lot based on what you're typing. For example if I put a, b, c, d on 4 different lines it takes almost a full second for it to jump to 1 line since it's Markdown. Is there an option to make single line breaks be treated as <br> new lines so it's a bit more WYSIWYG?
Do you have a public status page showing the uptime of your platform?
Edit:
I hope you don't mind the suggestions. I'm not trying to come off as one of those users who expect the world for nothing.
Just letting you know that personally some of these things are barriers that would prevent me from switching over and I like what you're trying to do, so I'm more than happy to take the time out to list them out.
If they get implemented, that's cool but if not no worries.
