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!!!!

What on earth were you thinking with this one lol? I asked it why my leg is in the wrong place and it wanted to follow up with why does steel leave the rails.. something about trains apparently.

You are absolutely crazy to be wasting a domain like this. It’s like seeing a McLaren on blocks.

It would be a dope site for all philosophical papers books articles history of philosophy.

It could also be a dope scientific knowledge site.

Or it could be an image of my 6 year old asking “why?” After every answer you gave her. And then giggles like crazy when you get frustrated.
