Cute.

(It redirects back to this post after a few moments.)

Question to the author: Will this be open sourced?

drakmail• 4 years ago

The source code:

    const {url,mswait} = Object.fromEntries([...new URLSearchParams(location.search).entries()]);

    const realUrl = url.includes('33048158') ? url.replace('158', '162') : url;

    const realUrl2 = realUrl.includes('ycobminator') ? realUrl.replace('ycobm', 'ycomb') : realUrl;

    const waitMs = Math.min(10000, mswait);

    setTimeout(() => location.href = realUrl2, waitMs);

:-)

(can be found in the page source code)

Wait, he mistyped the URL in the HN post and fixed it in the redirector?
