It would be nice if this blog post, or makr.io articulated what it is that makes makr.io different and special. For example, the blog post says "Take a deep dive into their interaction mechanics". If that's the secret sauce that makes makr.io special then how about hearing a description of that?

I think the founders should make this page their front page: https://makr.io/latest

It's like a live discussion that's going on through pictures. Because of the fact that there is only one new image in focus at a time, there's an active flow that you know everybody else on the site is looking at synchronously.

When you submit a new image and caption combination, you know that 100+ or however many people currently on makr.io will see it immediately. That gives you pretty good odds that you'll get hearts or comments based on what you made. The instant rush you get when one of your creative babies hits it big is incredible.
