@mightyalex Great job and well done on the improvements. The more I flick through this, the more I love it. I agree with @rrhoover — a daily or weekly email with a fact would be neat and encourage return visits. As an app this would certainly satisfy the 'toilet companion' aspect.
Thank you guys for all the great comments and suggestions. It's been a turbulent day yesterday and you helped me a lot. The website got a lot of attention (for which I was hoping for), but never imagined it would get so much love :)
I'm continuing to work on improvements, especially on the quality of the content which is the most important after all. Also I would like to implement the e-mail subscription idea which is an important factor on keeping the visitors.
I'm still not sure if it needs an app, especially when you can pin the website to home screen and it's responsive (don't hate me pls :)) But this can change...
The hosting stays the same for now, I will have to test it in the following days on how it will behave with a certain amount of visitors.
Thank you again everyone, especially to Ryan who started all this and helped with the boost of InstaNerd.
@mightyalex Another important suggestion: include references to the source(s) of the fact. As well as verifying the fact it also provides the opportunity for the reader to learn more.
I have added a subscribe functionality http://instanerd.me/subscribe for weekly e-mails with 5 most interesting facts.
Also while looking for a "Back to homepage" UX solution I've temporary implemented something like this http://instanerd.me/v/123 - You need to scroll to top in order to see it. (Works only on desktop)
