Seasonal
easter eggs
for personal sites.

A tiny client-side library. Drop in one line, get atmospheric moments on the right dates — lightsabers on May 4th, floating burgers on May 28th, Marvin the Paranoid Android on Towel Day.

The site you're on right now is running it live. Check the bottom-right corner today, or use the ?egg=<id> override to preview any egg.

One line in your HTML

Just before </body> on every page you want eggs on:

<script defer src="https://eggs.adao.dev/script.js"></script>

That's it. Eggs activate automatically on their dates. Off-dates — nothing loads, no SVGs fetched, near-zero footprint.
