# Website · Quiet

An uptime product site that speaks in specimens: “Nothing to report.” at display size, a live check of your own address, a year of its own alerts as lamps, three controls that are the whole setup, how it decides to speak, a printed rate card and questions. Loading, no-address, error and sign-ups-paused states included.

## Anatomy

- [Bar](https://tactileui.dev/parts/bar): The top of a page: a wordmark with a lamp, printed links, and one contrast key at most.
- [Selector](https://tactileui.dev/parts/selector): One mode of two to five: latching keys in a tray, one down at a time, each with a lamp that lights when chosen.
- [Panel](https://tactileui.dev/parts/panel): A face plate that groups what belongs together: a head, a rule, then the parts. Screws only on device-like panels.
- [Field](https://tactileui.dev/parts/field): Text entry in a recess, the label printed above it, and a hint that says how to fix an error.
- [Needle gauge](https://tactileui.dev/parts/gauge): A moving-coil panel meter: a printed scale under glass, a thin needle that swings past the mark and settles, a lamp for the bands and a small LCD for the exact reading.
- [Readout](https://tactileui.dev/parts/readout): A printed label over a value: key figures, with the unit small and the change in words.
- [Tray](https://tactileui.dev/parts/tray): A recess cut into the plate that holds other parts: keys, a selector, an empty state waiting for its first thing.
- [List](https://tactileui.dev/parts/list): Rows in a rack: a mark, a title, a second line and a fact or a key at the end. Chosen rows sink into a recess with their check key latched; in a running order, a row lifts out of the rack on its skirt and slides past the others, from the keyboard or by its grip.
- [Table](https://tactileui.dev/parts/table): Rows of data with printed column labels, figures right-aligned in columns, and status in lamps with words.
- [Key](https://tactileui.dev/parts/key): Every button, and every link that acts like one: a cap on a skirt that drops below the plate when pressed.
- [Tag](https://tactileui.dev/parts/tag): A small printed plate: a type, a count, a badge. Solid for the one tag that must stand out.
- [Lamp](https://tactileui.dev/parts/lamp): The only colour in the kit: a lamp that is on. Green is on, amber is waiting, red is recording or failing, blue is linked, white is standing by. Always next to words.
- [Status](https://tactileui.dev/parts/status): A lamp with words: the state line in tables, panel heads and lists. The words carry the meaning; the lamp is the glance.
- [Lamp heatmap](https://tactileui.dev/parts/heatmap): A heatmap as a matrix of small panel lamps set into the plate: each lamp’s brightness is the value, off to full in four steps, with a printed legend. Deploys per day over a year, incidents by hour of the week, energy by the hour.
- [Knob](https://tactileui.dev/parts/knob): A rotary control for continuous or stepped values where space is square. Its knurl and pointer turn; its light does not.
- [Switch](https://tactileui.dev/parts/switch): On or off, applied the moment it moves. A native checkbox with a ridged thumb in a slot that lights green when on.
- [Accordion](https://tactileui.dev/parts/accordion): Printed sections that open in place. Each head ends in a small square key printed +; open, the key latches below the plate and reads −.
- [Skeleton](https://tactileui.dev/parts/skeleton): The shape of a page before its data arrives, drawn as the unprinted plate: blank engraved bars where the words will print. Nothing on it moves. One amber lamp beside “Loading” is the only sign of work.
- [Empty state](https://tactileui.dev/parts/empty-state): What a view shows before it has anything: an empty tray with the outline of what goes in it printed on its floor, one sentence and one key.
- [Alert](https://tactileui.dev/parts/alert): A message let into the surface, with an annunciator: a small lit legend (Note, Done, Check, Fault) beside the words that say what happened.

## Usage notes

Bar · a display headline over one sentence and a key, beside a screwed panel that checks an address from six regions · numbered specimens in a margin: a year of alerts on a heatmap with four figures · three controls in trays · the alert sequence as a timed list · a rate card as a table with a cadence selector · questions in an accordion · a panel to start · a key at the foot that shows the other states (?state=).
