Request an invite, in the nav

The site’s one ask, in the nav: a button that opens a small form under it.

Tap it and the form opens under the button (on a phone, as a panel under the nav) with the email field ready; Esc or a tap outside closes it. Sending thanks you in place. It goes to Eden’s own request list, which Joel reads; you hear back when you’re let in.
