I think this is kind of missing the point. The movement toward brutalism tries to bring back the uniqueness of sites on the early web in all their bizarre diversity. It's also about just using HTML and CSS, which used to be written by hand and which give sites an off-the-beaten-track personality.
- warent 8y agoAgreed. Not to sound too harsh, but this "framework" (actually a library) smells very strongly of bandwagon. Why should I use this when I could use something like Hyperapp or Preact, and what does Brutal.js have anything to do with specifically brutalism?
- rutierut 8y agoYes, could not agree more, Brutalism is quite hot right now (although HN seems to hold a bit of an alternative definition about what Brutalism entails) which really seems like the only reason this exists in its current form. A framework for Brutalism almosts sounds like an oxymoron to be honest.
- pvg 8y agoI don't think it's about bringing back the 'uniqueness' of early web sites. They aren't advocating putting visitor counters and unfolding envelope gifs on every page.
