I use it as my daily basic newspaper.
I think it was also introduced on HN.
By the way, is “brutalist” a good description of this style? I don’t feel I have a great handle on how to use this term, but doesn’t it mean something other than simply simple?
I think the only thing that is different from what the generally accepted brutalist web design[1] tenets is not having the links underscored. Personally I understand this choice because if the majority of your content is largely made out of links the screen gets pretty crowded. So I think this passes as a brutalist page.
> Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.[4][5]
This website certainly does seem to be minimalist, showcase its structural elements, and eschew decorative design.
I see the minimalism, and the lack of decoration, but not the showcasing of structural elements. I guess, for a website, this would have to be something like actually exposing some of the markup or other infrastructure. Otherwise it’s just minimalist, without the brutalist element. See what I’m getting at?
