<h1>Make dynamic websites like it's 2006.</h1>

UCE is a deliberately direct web runtime: files are pages, templates live next to control flow,
nginx fronts the whole thing, and a request can compile into a shared object on first hit.
It is built in the image of PHP's non-architecture, but with an explicit request object,
component rendering, and a built-in WebSocket broker.

Treat server-rendered HTML as the default, and add richer behavior only where it pays for itself.

<h3>The intended shape</h3>
<ul>
<li>nginx serves static files directly from `site/`</li>
<li>ordinary `.uce` and plain `.ws.uce` page loads go through FastCGI</li>
<li>real websocket upgrade traffic goes to the built-in HTTP listener</li>
<li>systemd manages the runtime binary and restart policy</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="deploy-card">
<h3>The practical settings</h3>
<ul>
<li>`FCGI_SOCKET_PATH=/run/uce/fastcgi.sock` for normal requests</li>
<li>`HTTP_PORT=8080` for `.ws.uce` websocket upgrades</li>
<li>`scripts/systemd/manage-uce-service.sh` for build and service control</li>
<li>published root should be `site/`, not the repo root</li>

<h2>What this is and what it is not</h2>
</div>
<details open>
<summary>Is UCE production ready?</summary>
<p>The runtime is still experimental. The point of this site is to explain the model, show the current surface area, and make it easy to evaluate the demos and docs.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Why compare it to PHP?</summary>
<p>Because the design instinct is similar: dynamic pages as files, shallow deployment, and a bias toward solving the request in front of you instead of building an application architecture altar.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>What makes it different from old PHP?</summary>
<p>The request object is explicit, components and named handlers are native, markdown support is built in, and WebSockets use a broker-owned connection model inside the runtime.</p>
