I had always wondered about that. Is there a full collection of info about this site? There always seem to be random things like a black bar without even a comment in code or a page like https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors that I'm not even sure how to find other than I saw someone else mention it once.

Treat the site a little like a text adventure, akin to Colossal Cave Adventure or other text-based interactive fiction. HN is a world to explore, with items to uncover and treasures to discover.

There are clues ...

This is extremely off-topic, but it's a collapsed subthread already, so I think it's fine:

Black bar = honoring the dead.

/topcolors = list of colors that people have set their top bar to be.
