One piece of feedback: on mobile view of your homepage, you should do a better job exposing more of your content instead of relying on the hamburger for navigation. Just adding links after the Victor quote would be a step up.
A few minor tweaks:
1. Your home page is missing a concise description of what this actually is: videos with links to their subsections.
2. It takes a few clicks to see an example, and when I get there, the interaction isn't transparent: why would I click on what just looks like paragraph text?
3. In multivideo skims, starting a subsection of a new video should pause the previously playing video -- when I flip to a new page in a book, I don't want the old page still yelling at me.
Overall, great stuff, and I hope to see it expanded further!
My friend RMO has been working on alternate representations of video for years. One of his many experiments: http://teleputer.org/#/montage-interdit
Eyes on the Prize is amazing in its density and approachability. What are your thoughts on debate platforms like the one at the Economist [1] ?
1) You don't have to email anyone for an access code and subsequently create an account.
2) You don't have to wait to be emailed for link to your videos "digest creator".
I suspect that these barriers are enough to prevent most people from creating skims. See http://lesswrong.com/lw/f1/beware_trivial_inconveniences/ for the power of trivial inconveniences.
