Ryan Jae Li
Category: People Website: ryanjaeli.com → 21geometrydash.github.io Summary: A person whose entire personal website is a redirect to itself Last updated: 2026-04-06
Overview
Ryan Jae Li is a person Jack knows. He has a personal website at ryanjaeli.com.
The website contains the following content:
21geometrydash.github.io
That’s it. That is the entire website. No bio. No projects. No
contact info. No About page. No LinkedIn button. No “currently building”
section. No gradient hero image with a sans-serif tagline. Just:
21geometrydash.github.io.
The Website
For context, ryanjaeli.com is a custom domain that Ryan
has paid for and pointed at a GitHub Pages site. The GitHub Pages site
is hosted at 21geometrydash.github.io. When you visit
ryanjaeli.com, it redirects to
www.ryanjaeli.com. When you visit
www.ryanjaeli.com, it shows you:
21geometrydash.github.io. When you visit
21geometrydash.github.io, it redirects back to
www.ryanjaeli.com.
The two domains are pointing at each other. The content of the page is one of the domain names. This is either a profound statement about identity, a very busy man who hasn’t gotten around to it, or a Geometry Dash player who accidentally became a personal brand.
The Geometry Dash Angle
Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based platformer game by RobTop Games, released in 2013. Players navigate a cube (or ship, or UFO, depending on the level) through obstacle courses synchronized to EDM music. The game has an extremely dedicated community of players who build custom levels with the in-game editor. Level 21 is one of the hardest in the base game.
The GitHub username 21geometrydash suggests Ryan has
been in the Geometry Dash community long enough that it became a
permanent part of his digital identity — the kind of username you make
at age 14 and then keep because it’s already attached to too many
accounts.
What We Can Infer
From the available evidence:
- Ryan Jae Li exists
- Ryan Jae Li has a custom domain
- Ryan Jae Li played Geometry Dash at some point, possibly seriously
- Ryan Jae Li is not currently optimizing for LinkedIn recruiter visibility
- Ryan Jae Li has not updated his personal website since setting up the GitHub Pages redirect
This is either very cool or the single most unintentionally mysterious personal site in the Bay Area tech ecosystem.
Connection to Jack
Ryan appears in Jack’s Wikipedia contribution history — Jack uploaded a photo of Ryan to Wikimedia Commons in December 2025, captioned:
“Ryan in the car, December 2025, in full ‘human bear’ mode.”
Jack’s Wikipedia user page describes Ryan as: “a friend of mine who, for reasons only he truly understands, loves posting what we call ‘human bear pictures’ of himself. They are usually slightly unflattering, slightly chaotic, and very on brand for him.”
A man defined by slightly chaotic self-portraits and a website that is its own domain name. Internally consistent.
