I don’t understand how/why this got so popular out of nowhere… the same solution has already existed for years in the form of haproxy-protection and a couple others… but nobody seems to care about those.
Probably a similar reason as to why we don’t hear about the other potential hundreds of competing products or solutions to the same problem (in general).

Probably because the creator had a blog post that got shared around at a point in time where this exact problem was resonating with users.
It’s not always about being first but about marketing.
And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I’m even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn’t insignificant.

Luck.
It’s just not fair in our world.
