A UI kit to get a website running

The website has this comic style UI.

We have founded CTRLback based on shared values and similar experiences in the corporate world. We care deeply about people and the planet, and value them over profit.

But the most troubling part of this story is Apple’s terrible handling of the issue. Murphy reported the bug in June 2024, and Apple responded a month later, saying they had launched an internal investigation. Then, in March of this year, they announced they’d fixed the issue—except they hadn’t. Murphy checked, and the flaw was still there. So in May, Apple changed its tune and flat-out told him to shut up, but the most annoying thing about this whole situation is the crappy handling of it: “We would appreciate it if you wouldn’t disclose this information until our investigation is complete.” In short, just shut up while we do nothing to fix it ^^.

The site builds from an SQLite page. At 10ms per page, millions of pages would need 4 hours to render. The author then moved the website to SSR, but AI Crawlers took it down.

It's now on a VPS gated by Cloudflare CDN. Sadly.
