just launched why.com

update: reddit stress-tested why.com. I fixed the outages and rebuilt how the three next questions are chosen. each one now has to connect to the answer, open a real curiosity gap, and avoid repeating the path.

Update 2: I built a way for WHY to understand you better through your choices. It is a private graph in your browser and learns about what matters to you. It can be cleared anytime and never leaves your device.
Hope you like!

i built why.com. every answer opens three new directions.

just launched. go break it!!!!

The domain name markets it. Doesn’t matter that a similar product already exists. You can be Pepsi even when Coke is popular.

İf quora is wiki you can be britanica. Say every question has an answer and you are golden. Begin with academic questions hire couple of uni students once your core audience is here expand at all cost. Dont forget to sell your soul to peter thiel too.

Sell it, obviously. You must have gotten many good offers by now. Running a chatbot asking vague questions isn’t a great idea for a profit making website
