    This reminds of the old saying "just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done".

    There's a ton of hard work on this website. The single index.php file is not interesting. Most of the work is probably in Javascript / CSS.

    That's insane.

    I assume there is some punchy infrastructure behind this though, not just a static hosted php file?

    I wonder how much is/was spent on marketing.

    whole lot of ifs and switches in that thing LOL Reminds me of the first version of FUSEBOX in the late 90s. it was just a huge cfswitch/cfcase with a mess of cfincludes so it could load in eclipse since eclipse had a hard time back then with files over 1000 lines i think. i'm showing my age.
