I read the note 9 easter egg! Hope someone believe me.

I had it too today. I saved the page in my bookmarks a few days ago, looked at it this evening. I suspect it is visible to anyone, and the joke is to have you make a comment on HN ;) XD. I checked IWA: It is visible here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230629052606/https://verdagon.... but not on the first snapshot here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230622185954/https://verdagon....

Yep not even a random display in JS. I looked at the source code of the webpage. There is nothing curious. Custom JS is here: https://verdagon.dev/components/annotated.js and does only trivial things. Not a real easter egg for the client part. Maybe the easter egg is in server part that sends the HTML with or without it depending on hour or something. No need to waste more time on it, there is no funny code behind :)
