Has the site been around for long? I've never heard of it but it looks like a large-ish community.

It was launched in 2016, with a much simpler interface (no accounts iirc), which evolved a lot to come to this day.

Its source code is also really interesting, it makes me want to learn Scala.

It's been around at least as far back as 2010. Here is a 6 year old HN submission about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1927188

Yeah, I borrowed some css for a chess board from it for a (never published) project I was working around 2010 or perhaps slightly earlier!

I should reread my posts before sending, this was a mixup between "6 years old" and the launch year. Thanks for the correction.
