I've been a concrete5 user for 5 years, im not the most savvy programmer on deck, but i have a good eye for design in usability, and am familiar enough with c5 to understand how certain functions are guided by the core of it.

i've been working on a similar feature of gathering , made from patching together various page lists, and using isotope, but i think a lot of these ideas will be implemented here.

regarding the modals, i may have some good suggestions if you can share a working page with me, and id be happy to join the beta team if you would benefit from my point of view.

thanks and keep up the good work!
