On an older iPad I get "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.whatsit.today (see the browser console for more information)." neatly centred on an otherwise blank page.

Not 1:1, but it has an extremely similar look and feel. In how glyphs are cut and the rhytm of the typeface. Scroll down to "Comparison of Nebula Sans versus Whitney SSm" part of the linked page. I was literally going to complain

Sasha is a familiar version of Alexander. Like Ben for Benjamin, Pete for Peter, Ash for Ashley, etc. Its etymology is just a bit less straight-forward.

I sworn by Gandi since the early '00s, but they sold themselves to a private equity firm recently and things almost immediately went just as one might fear. Leave while you can.

This reminds me - Back in the MS-DOS days, when the RAM was sparse, there was a class of so-called "memory optimization" programs. They all inevitably found at least few KB to be reclaimed through their magic even if the same opti
