Brendan talks about this a bit more here: https://x.com/BrendanEich/status/2006412918783619455
I work at Brave, VP of IT. I worked at Mozilla for 5 years. So have some experience with browsers.
I see our insanely high infrastructure bill each month, most of the cost comes down to CDN/distribution of updates, block lists, safe browsing etc. But we also have a bunch of other costs for staff to maintain said infrastructure and security.
If you get to scale, what is the plan here? Because $1M won't get you a very long runway and the moment browsers stop doing what they should be doing well, they die. Wishing you the best of luck.
Don't get hung up on the name. The intention a long time ago was to make it a wiki, but it never happened and the name stuck.
I'm not sure what you mean, bodyweight only exercise selection looks fine to me? Want to give me a concrete example, maybe we have something bugged. We have a bunch more exercise coming to add a little more depth, but our data shows that bodyweight is generally where novice/beginner lifters want to start, so we give them the option. Also things like pull-ups, chin-ups, dips are in no way "beginner" and so if a user selects "all equipment" which is what most people do, they'll get these very important exercises if they are applicable.
its okay if you don't agree, but we have an expert on staff who curated these exercises. I trust him more than some guy on the internet. So if they are wrong, its likely a bug.
ack on bodyweight depth - working on it.
We don't mind ad blockers, I suggest Brave! But if you do want to help support our team, we also offer a premium subscription that removes ads and unlocks other features like tracking.
Apparently there is a pool of IP's that Cloudflare use for their CDN and some of them are blocked in Egypt. If you are unlucky enough to be one of the websites that is using that IP, it's blocked. Apparently they rotate them, but I haven't seen it yet, so chances are, when they do rotate them, more will be blocked.
Cloudflare is a huge part of the internet. Often they won't respond and it appears that for whatever reason, their IP range is blocked in Egypt. We probably get 10 support emails per week. I contacted Cloudflare and they simply said there is nothing they can do.

Again, this will come with tools. I built the original concept for the site out of frustration around SEO, and the general people taking for 10mins and not getting to the point. However, I see your point and as I mentioned above, we are working on more guided features and building search into the site to get people to the content faster.
The site started built on wikimedia but didn't blend well with clean ascetic, but that's pretty much the reason for the name and it stuck. I think one day we might build wiki like functions into.
However, we are filming Yoga on Thursday this week.
Edit, this is my website.
