    Interesting, I actually very recently built a similar project [1]. I was unaware of this...If I were I probably wouldn't have bothered!

    [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.brucewillis.sexy&#x2F;~tombert&#x2F;fs_index" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.brucewillis.sexy&#x2F;~tombert&#x2F;fs_index I promise, safe for work, despite the URL.

      I was fascinated by hister initially, but now I&#x27;m fixated on your URL.

        Hah, I bought that URL a long time ago, mostly as an in-joke between me and some friends since Bruce Willis was my favorite actor. Then later I needed a dev URL for some work I was doing, and the only one I had free was brucewillis.sexy. Then I kept making subdomains on it for different things and eventually it just became the default.

        I like it.
