It's still not brutalist. Though I agree with the ideas expressed on https://brutalist-web.design https://brutalist-web.design, I don't believe it's brutalist either.

You could have made it faster and less bloated in just plain HTML, an entirely unecesary level of bloat for a page like this. Your page makes 71(!) requests (compared to HNs 7) and is about ~158kB of data, not far of 3x more data than HN.
You've made something, but not something brutalist, performant or bloat free.

- wkyleg 3y agoThe thing is this page couldn’t be made with just HTML It could be generated on a server, but that server would be doing a version of what the HN API already does for free That also wouldn’t function as a progressive web app and work as a mobile app, which I think is how most actually people read HN
