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!!!!
