It even works on itself: https://www.smort.io/https:/smort.io

But another level of recursion seems to lose the content: https://www.smort.io/https:/smort.io/https:/smort.io

Yes, since the actual content in the first recursive level is minimal, the parsing algorithm doesn't render it in the second level. I should include an easter egg in when you run it recursively :)

I’d just redirect the second level to the first (could happen by accident when using a JS bookmark or similar), i.e. redirect https://www.smort.io/https:/smort.io/https:/whatever to https://www.smort.io/https:/whatever, but continue to allow https://www.smort.io/https:/smort.io (because why not, there can be valid use cases).

Haha that's some telepathy. I just did that. https://smort.io/https://www.smort.io/https:/smort.io/... redirects to https://smort.io/https://smort.io

Check it out now! Inspired by @guyzl, I added a Brooklyn 99 Easter Egg

Noice. :)

Another thing: At least on iOS, I get what looks like two overlapping scroll bars. I guess the thicker yellow one is from smort.io, but it’s confusing, and they are slightly out of sync with each other. :)

I'm not able to reproduce this on iOS. If you're okay, do you mind sending me a screenshot of the issue via email [1] or Twitter DM [2]?
