This looks like a rewrite of https://tumblr.github.io/collins/tools.html#it, which they never released.

As a shop that uses collins, we wrote our own replacement for invisible touch called alchemy linux. The key difference here seems to be that genesis uses scripts embedded into the image, where as alchemy gets the scripts dynamically from its PXE server, and is more of a dumb job runner.

SD videos should be fine after caching is complete. See FAQ

I have a better solution for caching being cooked up but it's at least a few weeks away.

Also, I just ran a fully cached build of 0.1.27 and it works flawlessly on the 256MB pi.

I'm happy that people like misnome are posting their opinions - criticism is good and productive. I'm happy to make changes, but can't do it if no one complains ;)

In response to your comments, I have updated the download page, and will change the installer.

As for compatibility, I firmly stand behind supporting all Raspberry Pis, though it probably works best with 512 atm

I'll look into clarifying this.

We have plans to have a single, GUI installer, but only have so much man power.

Again, still in Alpha. The project is only about 1 month old.

This is still in Alpha, we are working on making the experience smoother.

Make sure you are running 0.1.27

As for the black screen, currently a known issue that seems to occur before caching is done.
