fullstack-builder / rank 35 of 41 / cycle 04

Zite benchmark

Produces attractive interfaces quickly and holds a consistent visual language across pages. It is not built for the second half of this specification: rate limiting, signed webhooks and durable jobs were all missing or hand waved, and the exported project could not boot outside the platform.
