I love the idea and drive behind your site, and the functionality, but I do have one suggestion that may help.
I suggest toning down the brutalist "look" just from 10 to 9. Two things you can do that will keep the soul of your site and make it more usable:
- add system-matched light and dark mode, that 100% white is very aggressive and bright, too much so and is putting me off using it.
- just bring the white and black in a tiny bit from 100% white and 100% black, make it a slightly softer grey and almost black. Again this is more about making it accessibile to eyeballs. Brutalist doesn't mean unpleasent afterall.
