Hey HN! I posted this on April 1st when it launched, and though it didn't get traction here, it was a minor hit on reddit! Now that we've got a few thousand monkeys under our belt, wanted to give it another shot here!

Happy to talk about the technical details of running the site - using supabase/postgres and constantly putting out fires from the traffic.

Looks interesting, but after two (<30s) attempts I gave up trying to figure out what it even is . There’s no about page, there’s some stats that I don’t know the significance of, there’s a blog that talks about improvements… But there’s just no straightforward description of what the heck I’m even looking at besides some fun monkey animations.

For goodness sake, this is what makes it great!

This reminds me so much of the "old" internet where people would just make fun things for the hell of it.
