Six Small Easter Eggs Hidden in This Portfolio
A short guide to the hidden interactions tucked into the portfolio, why they exist, and how to trigger each one.
1. Konami code anywhere on the site
Use the classic sequence: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. A temporary visual effect will ripple across the page and announce that the hidden mode was accepted.
This one is the loudest of the six. It is meant to be playful, but still restrained enough that the site keeps its overall tone.
2. Click the BS badge in the header six times
The circular BS mark in the header doubles as a trigger. Tap or click it six times and the site enters a subtle trace mode with extra visual diagnostics and a small confirmation toast.
It is a quiet nod to the kind of debug and observability mindset that shows up all over backend work.
3. Press the 6 key six times
If you hit the 6 key six times in a row, the page leaks a burst of floating sixes for a few seconds. It is deliberately nerdy and a little unnecessary, which is exactly why it exists.
This is also the most direct answer to the design request for more sixes throughout the site.
4. Click the checksum line in the footer six times
The monospace checksum line at the bottom is not just decorative. Click it six times and the portfolio acknowledges the trusted path with its own tiny success state.
If someone notices this one naturally, they are probably the exact kind of detail-oriented person Bruno enjoys working with.
5. Flip the theme toggle six times
The light and dark mode switch also counts. Six rapid toggles trigger a parity effect that celebrates the site surviving repeated state changes without falling apart.
That one is half joke and half frontend reliability test.
6. Add ?trace=6 to the URL
If you append ?trace=6 to any page URL, the site boots directly into trace mode. It is a hidden route-level flag for people who enjoy finding a debug hook in plain sight.
This is the cleanest easter egg to share with someone else because it works immediately and does not require memorizing a sequence.
- Every easter egg is optional and harmless.
- The hidden interactions stay consistent with the site's engineering tone.
- The best one is probably whichever you find without reading this note first.
