About
This site is an experiment with
Brutalist Web Design,
Vanilla JavaScript, and more broadly what can be built with only
open web standards.
It is built with one HTML/CSS/JS file without any libraries, and the Hacker News API. As such is is
also a good playground for students learning web development.
This page is also an exploration of glitch art, cyberpunk, and brutalist trends in web design.
Acknowledgements to the
original Hacker News website
for their API and
Matt Gross
for the glitch animation used in the title bar.
