It's a legit April Fools'.

On the initial commit:

> Some content is hidden

> Large Commits have some content hidden by default. Use the searchbox below for content that may be hidden.

This for "a spiritual successor to WordPress".

Isn't it normal for the initial commit to be large?

A little larger, a lot of the time, though I like a small initial commit better. Though just a little larger. Not so large that it is too large to show on a GitHub page. That means not using version control properly.

Maybe not applicable in this case, but Github has a ridiculously low threshold for when it starts hiding diffs. Probably a limitation of their new React frontend.

Usually when someone decides to share code with the world, they don't want to publish the actual development history. They publish the first version that is ready to go public as the first commit. With enough functionality etc.

8 years later and now I'm getting the 4 1's joke.

I still don't get it

1.1.1.1 has 4 1’s, as in 4/1, as in April 1 (or so I assume).

I interpreted it back then as just following the tradition of 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4, 2.2.2.2

4 1's == 4/1

could just be a coincidence

I presume if Elon sets up a CDN, the IP will be 20.20.20.20.
