Show HN: Brutalisthackernews.com – A HN reader inspired by brutalist web design (brutalisthackernews.com)
6 points by wkyleg 10 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I've developed a Hacker News reader that draws inspiration from Brutalist Web Design, the open web, Cyberpunk Aesthetics, and glitch art.

The entire project is crafted in Vanilla JavaScript, contained within a single index.html file, eschewing any external libraries. It features support for theming, including the use of third-party themes. Additionally, users have the capability to create and apply their own themes directly within the site.

Moreover, the application is designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA), enabling it to be downloaded and used as an app on most devices.

I'm eager to receive feedback on both the implementation and design aspects, particularly from the Hacker News community. Mobile device testing remains a priority for further refinement, so insights in this area would be particularly valuable.

For more detailed information and to explore further:

Big kudos for building things from scratch. Even though it's not directly applicable in most jobs, the knowledge you have from understanding the entire "stack" helps a lot when using tools and frameworks, because you understand their value and cost.
