So in your opinion, I should make the "What is Currently" the front one, and the "Why I Built It" one as the background/secondary?

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

Absolutely. I really enjoyed the "Why I Built Currently" but it's a bit heavy and overwhelming for someone's first impression of a social network. For some it might even give the wrong impression about the app -- I initially thought there was going to be some tie-in in the app itself to help report sexual abuse.

I think the most appropriate place for this kind of story would be your first blog post because it's more about humanizing you and the developers more than it's about the product itself. However, since it's important to you I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping it on the home page so more people can see it.

Nah it has flair. I find it charming, and the comic about sexual trafficking really got me. Keep it up!
I'm thinking I'm going to change it, because some others have pointed out that, if you come at the comic thinking you're going to get the reason behind the app itself, it's misleading. But I'll keep it as the secondary one you can click on :)

Thanks for the great feedback guys! You all rock! As I've said before, tshirts all around! (to those who want them and use the app) ;)

Correctomundo.
