Might be worth providing way for people to know what the project is and how to use it.

Well, welcome to my neuroses- because you asked now it's not as "thirsty" to do that. There was a fantasy sports game in the late 90s and early 2000s called wall street sports, where you'd buy "shares" of professional athletes and the prices would go up or down. My project is my start on bringing some form of it back. [https://sportfolio.money/]

Lots of ventures that have made “investing” in a given real world persona; for example:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Index
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitClout ___
At least for me, your site loads for a split second, then goes completely white; might want to do some cross browser testing, especially on mobile.
So this time around I'm slowly asking people I know to try it out. Honestly it takes a little courage and has given me a newfound respect for people who do sales (though it's a little different, as the whole thing was my idea). There does seem to be a big difference between an explicit ask to sign up vs. hey check this out. Oftentimes people will say that's so great but not sign up (which I try not to take personally).
