@mdhughes excited to see what you do! I made a half hearted attempt at some brutalist web design on my site a while back, but think I could push it a bit more while still preserving readability.

@eli @mdhughes I’m not sure about the whole Brutalist Web Design concept. I’ve seen some uses of it, and it’s godawful and the clearest statement of principles I could find seems wholly ignored by practitioners.

@dgold re-reading the principles brutalist is probably not the term for my site. I see a lot of folks harping on brutalism on the web, but I also think it has similar (or perhaps complimentary) goals to a lot of the IndieWeb -- so the aesthetic harp, I get, but everything else 🤷‍♂️

@dgold I'd also note that the gallery of brutalist sites there seems to stretch their definition of brutalism pretty far.

@mdhughes I agree though find the #indieweb design aesthetic revolves around text as the dominant form of communication in terms of primacy of design...gimme broken css and the repeating stretched out background images of GeoCities any day.
