This website was a part of my education as a computer scientist and seeing it here again I'm curious for the full story of how this site was made. Who made it, what do they do now, is it part of a broader project they have?

There is only very basic info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Euler

This article is excellent. It mentions the creator, Colin Hughes, and the story behind the project, but it boils down to a passion project for him.

Back in early 2000s, before hackerrank and similar coding sites, this is what my professors recommended for training programming skills.
