For example if someone has a particularly good idea for a more abstract group, rather than topic specific groups (for example Reddit's /r/changemyview or /r/writingprompts, though I'm not suggesting those would make good ~s, necessarily).
I would suggest that perhaps each submission should be accompanied by say five examples of content that would belong there, and a rationale for why it deserves to be a separate group.

Additionally, if I make a change to the remote stylesheet, the changes aren't picked up even if I re-enter the URL and save it. I have to change the name of the remote file and update the URL in the options in order to pick the changes up.
Is there any reason not to support both a URL field and a textarea? Ideally if both fields are filled, the contents of the textarea will be appended to the contents of the remote CSS file, allowing people to easily customise third party styles and add small tweeaks, while still keeping them automatically updated; as well as making it easy to apply some tweaks or a custom theme if you don't have any hosting.
EDIT: This is on Firefox Developer Edition.

The colour of Willy Wonka's skin has zero impact on any aspect of the story, and Donald Glover seems like he'd be fantastic in the role, so I don't see any reason not to cast him.

While there's so much space there and the code for it already exists in the sidebar template, it would make navigation much easier until a more customisable system can be implemented.

For a six meal pot of chili, I'd usually use one or two ancho/poblano chilis; three whole chipotles, or one of those small imported cans of chipotles in adobo that are painfully expensive and then either a couple scotch bonnets or habaneros.

Currently the subscribed groups list is only shown in the sidebar of the index page, but given that the sidebar isn't currently used for much else and doesn't take up much vertical space, it would be nice to have the group list persisted across at least the individual groups if not threads themselves, to make navigation easier without having to go back to the top level to check a different group.

I would only suggest giving out two or so to users, so at most you'd triple the user base, but you'd also be more likely to have users ration them to people they trust and already enjoy talking to.
Just don't want anyone to burn out on what sounds like a tedious task!

Keeping the number of invites given out to users low would hopefully maintain a reasonable level of quality, as while some will just post them freely on other sites, many will prioritise giving them to people they already know and trust.
This may even have a slightly higher quality return, if it's clear that the reputation of people you invite will eventually reflect on your own account in a minor way (which I believe is the case?)

I discussed this early on and was in favour of it then. The only idea I've had since then would be to use a random word list of some kind to generate anonymous identifiers. Similar to the way gfycat.com generates URLs. They use
AdjectiveAdjectiveAnimalas the format, but there are lots of possibilities and using something like that over a pseudo-random identifier makes it much easier to distinguish multiple anonymous users in a single thread.The most difficult part would be generating an adequate word list, so you may want to crowd source that.
I'd also suggest that they are clearly differentiated from normal usernames, so it doesn't matter if someone has registered the same set of words as their username and that clicking on them displays all of the anonymous posts by that user in the same thread. Something like this.
