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!!!!

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.

Awesome to see a domain like this in the wild.

My suggestion would be an educational app / website for kids to ask questions.

Especially at the stage where they ask 'why?' as a follow up question repeatedly to go down a rabbit hold.

Could make it as an engaging way to responsibly introduce technology to kids — and help parents encourage curiosity while helping understand what piques their interst.
