Wait what now?

This is a real product, but marketed by Seinfeld's script writer?

I mean parts of the real product are what I want / build from sphinx spare parts - and I cannot work out now if those features are worthwhile or dumb.

I am very confused

It is indeed a real product. They've got several different landing pages. The one you've read is https://fibery.io/anxiety

Check out https://fibery.io/freedom, https://fibery.io/connect, and https://fibery.io/build

They redirect to random landing pages. That will be a nasty Easter egg when you see a serious landing page and you ask somebody to Google it and they get the spoof page.Whats the error message? And do native English speakers associate "fibery" with "healthy"? Don't get me started on fans spinning hard on FF in Ubuntu.

They are not random. If it's your first time at the website, you will see serious page and can see funny one after several deliberate updates (there is a special button for this). So if you just send fibery.io to a new person, he will see something serious for sure.

I'm with you - in a way, goodness, sure looks like they're getting a lot of attention, but like others -- "until I hit the comments on hacker news", I thought it was satire[0].

[0] Actually, I thought it was clever advertising by Atlassian -- and I actually started feeling cynical about the whole thing (I'm not a huge fan of their products but theirs are among the tools we use where I work).
