Thank you! Not sure why it's so hard to find (still don't see where you got this from), esp if it's using exe.dev's platform.

(exe.dev co-founder here) The platform is designed make it easy for you to share if you like, but we are not typically in the business of pointing directly at products users make. Maybe we should change that! It would be fun to have a "best of exe.dev" on our site.

Ask creators before featuring them, but medium and substack and YouTube are popular platforms because of their discovery mechanisms, not because hosting text or video is especially hard these days.

I wonder if .exe in the domain sets of all kind of overenthusiastic "safety" mechanisms in search engines, AV software, etc.

Interestingly, it's the .xyz on our VM domain that causes problems. It's apparently far more of a problematic gTLD than I realized. E.g. it appears Southwest Airlines blocks the entire thing, as do some enterprise networks are working with.

(We have a fix for this coming in a few weeks.)

Sorry for this being hard to find. I've put the links to the live apps and repositories here https://kohlschwarz.at/
