Excited to be participating in the ZO Computer Challenge!
CTRL//SPIRIT — a haunted operating system for diagnosing corrupted design systems.
I didn’t want to make a traditional portfolio, so I turned my personal website into an interactive horror desktop instead. The idea was to create something that felt like a cursed CRT machine, a living archive, and a design manifesto all at once.
Inside the site, visitors can explore:
recovered doctrines from broken systems
incident logs of interface failures
an infected components diagnostic mini-game
terminal interactions, hidden files, and eerie system warnings
I wanted it to feel unsettling, playful, and strangely beautiful — like stepping into a machine that still remembers every broken interface it has ever scanned.
Built on Zo Computer during the challenge window.

Well done !
The real cost of bad UX:
Cluttered layouts, and slow load times quietly push people toward competitors before they even read your value prop. Good design isn't decoration. It's retention.
If you're not sure how your product's UX is performing, that uncertainty is usually the first sign it needs a look.

Good design isn't decoration, it's retention is a line every founder should tape to their monitor. People bounce over clutter and slow loads before they ever reach the value prop, and that lost revenue is invisible so it never gets fixed. Framing UX as retention is exactly right.
