Overview
akn.me.uk allows visitors to read about Ahnaf Kabir, browse his projects, experiments, photography, and letters, and make contact. Access controls are available over individual projects, experiments, and letters, granted by a five digit access code or by an akn ID sign-in.
Sections are reached from a side menu or from a command palette. Entries a visitor cannot see are absent rather than marked, and appear in place once access is granted.
