pestilence

A collection of JavaScript utilities to ruin someone’s day, regardless of ability…or disability.

Demo

Installation

Simply drop the minified file into your site:

<script src="pestilence.min.js"></script>

No fancy DOM-ready methods here—the file blindly assumes that you can load a website within eight seconds. If you’re really concerned about that, strip out the setTimeout at the bottom of the file and call Pestilence.initialize() when you’re good and ready!
