I enjoy the look of these, but personally I wouldn't have thought to describe them as neobrutalist, so I'm thinking I don't know what it is.

How is brutalism defined in this context? When I think web brutalism I think Craigslist style sites and reduction of superfluous design elements.

Really unfortunate how much I immediately associate this with vibe coded sites. So many models trend to this exact neobrutalist style when any semblance of Swiss design or minimalism is mentioned in the prompt. However, I really do like how the style looks on some sites, like in https://www.not-ship.com/united-nations-map/ which was on HN earlier.

Is there a pure CSS or CSS + JS alternative that does not rely on React?

Wouldn't web brutalism be using the browsers "native" component, as in don't style <input> elements?

This is pretty cool however I feel it's inconsistent. Some elements have a drop shadow and some don't (Button vs Button Group).

Ah, yes, the Brite Bootswatch skin.

No need to mess around further.

The charts are particularly great.

I will say I'm afraid to use this style because Gemini seems to love it so much and therefore users will make assumptions about how the website was created.

Is a dark mode available? That's the bit I struggle the most with this style.

Looks great, thanks for sharing. Do you plan to add Dark Mode and/or Shadcn theming?

Brutalism? More like 'Back to school' vibes to be honest

looks awful (to provide a genuinely felt counter view)

I just realized this is one more thing destroyed by LLM after em-dashes.

Reminds me of Notion and old Basecamp.

This is a very easy sell for me because everything these days is doing the infuriating gray text on gray background.

I love it! I've been using my own styling for my various projects that I call "Soft NeoBrutalism" that's more colourful and lower contrast since I find most neobrutalist styles to be too stark. Sample here: https://frost-e.com/design-system/

Since mine is just a hacky vibe-coded single css file, I might switch to yours with a custom colour scheme.
