You announced it on the FediVerse, where it has already been boosted almost 700 times as I write this 4 hours later, and it spread to Reddit within 2 hours of that, as you know because you replied to the Reddit post. There is definitely going to be an initial spike of activity, given those. (-:

It’s considered bad UX to have a million checkboxes (or a million of any UI element) on a single page. Consider breaking this up into 3-deep nested pages, each with 100 options.

Ah yes, the Backrooms of UX hell.

With the right procedural generation and some decent flavor, that could be genuinely horrifying!

Next you're going to complain that all the pixels of an image are too close to each other and there should be some grille patterns separating them.

Stop scripting this yall. The site is having enough trouble as is. I thought we were more mature than reddit.

Are you really gatekeeping a silly nonsense site?

I guess I had a bit of a harsh reaction yeah, sorry about that. I came back here and found the site down. It seems to be back up now though and you're right that it doesn't really matter anyway.

I still do think that at least some people would prefer even their silly site not being spammed with scripted requests.
