Git history doesn't explain it unfortunately

Although, when we inspect author's profile on lobste.rs, we'll see that he's banned:
https://lobste.rs/~soc [Banned 4 years ago by pushcx: Troll.]
Maybe he's banned from HN as well. And this 'undesirables' is a method of taking some kind of revenge.

Author has said that development is moved to codeberg, but github version was good enough for the "turnBack.js" analysis.
Uh, before I wrote my sibling comment I read 'comment' as 'commit' and because of it I somehow assumed it was a github link... not sure how that happened.
Anyway, the user named 'soc' on HN has "listbite" in the description. I saw this profile, but I think it's not the same guy. But also I wasn't sure so I didn't paste the link to HN at all.
