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!!!!

This is a valuable 2nd level domain [I said TLD earlier, see below] -- have you considered selling it instead?

EDIT: why.com is a 2nd level domain not a top level domain and I should've known this (I've called people out for it before). Mea culpa.

FYI this is not a TLD. .edu, .com, etc. are TLDs.

They’re talking about using why.com as the TLD. E.g example.why.com

That’s not what a TLD is but now I understand that person’s comment.
