Over a year ago I bought a domain name on a whim. Now you might be thinking "nothing special about that, I have done that!". In fact, some of you w...

Found it 😅
On a side note, I remember watching about this site on newsround (British kids news show) as a kid
What are the first letters of each word in the domain name if you want to claim the crown!?
So "theangrydeveloper.com" would be TAD
MDK
Yup, that was way faster than I thought! Damn I made it too easy it seems (or to be fair ot could be that you are super human!)
Well done!
I'm a web dev, I opened my inspector and looked for a certain word which lead me to an area tag with coords. Once I had those it was just a case of clicking on a couple 😝
Ah I obviously made the key word to obvious 😉😉
Would it be MDK? 😉
Also, I'm a dodo. I was looking for the clue, when the actual clue says it is next to it.
It's not even really next to it, it's next to it and down a little bit 😉
Well now you are just splitting hares 😉😉
It is easier to find Waldo (at least twice in the grid) than this link 😂😭
Haha, its so weird to hear that as in the UK we call him "Wally", so it is "Where's Wally" over here!
I think he exists 4 times in total...damn it now I have to go look! 🤣
3 times, he appears 3 times...I can relax now!
here from the million dollar homepage
Someone spent waaaay too much time clicking random pixel art! 🤣😜
As a recommendation for people that may try this: use your browser in private mode (or a browser you normally don't use) and be careful. The linked sites may not be the safest ones out there.
Oh and if nobody gets it I will give you another clue after a few hours, I can't tell if I made the puzzle too hard or too easy!
I will give one last hint that will help if you would rather write a programme to analyse the HTML, I "own" a total of 2,000 pixels on the page!
Edit
Pff as i said in the article I goofed and made it way too easy. Do it without Dev Tools and have some fun!
View-source, search for the keyword, read co-ordinates...
Yup, the flaw was that I thought it was part of one large image with the symbols above and below and didn't see that you could search that way as they were four separate regions when i thought it was only one...big fail 🤦♂️
For a second there I thought you bought the page!
Life goals!
Would rather own that page than pay 69 million dollars for an nft
I currently own 0.2% of the page so maybe I can acquire it a few pixels at a time! 🤣
That was too easy, mdk.
Didn't use devtools
I did say I missed an obvious cheat due to how the image regions work 🤦♂️, or did you manage without developer tools?
I didn't use devtools, I just skimmed around, found the , and clicked at the sides
Found this August 28, 2021. By chance, I clicked on the link while exploring the MDH. :)
MDK BTW
