Hey Tomer, this new app has an amazing UI and I am a huge fan! I am just curious how long it took you to take this idea and see it through to where it is now. In addition, are you monetizing / do you plan to? And because some pages are being flagged and restricted because of the "virus" keyword, did the government reach out to you about anything? I ask only because I am considering doing something similar to this and just want to get as much information as I can before I get going.

Thank you @griffinfoster for sharing! I did spent few weeks on this. Currently I don't make any profit from it since I started this as a pet project, but it could be nice though, why do you ask? About the government reaching to me, I am not sure I understand what do you mean, why should they? The restricted thing I mentioned in the post is mostly around VPN policies (for example tech employees who has VPN installed on their machine) or Antivirus rules that thinks it makes sense to block a website with the word "virus" (even though it is a legit word). There might be some Adblockers too though I did not tackle one that blocked an entire domain. Hope it helps :)
