SHOW HN: Why.com – a curiosity engine back from 1999

WHY started in 1999 with a small team from Harvard. Raised $4m, got hit during dot com bust and went dark for over 25 years.

The homepage is still here: https://web.archive.org/web/20001019031120/http://why.com/in...

The original founder is back and I built why.com around a simple loop: one answer, three new questions.

The foundation model is at epicenter and orchestration was my taste so tear it apart.

I’m curious.
