BRUT CSS

I've took some time to build my own specialized CSS Framework. The end goal of this framework is to help in the building of Nerd-targeted web applications.

What I mean by that, is that in most of my professional experience, I had to build internal administration tools that I needed to share with other developers and managers.

I am also recently fond some aspect of "Brutalism". The idea I like the most is about, going directly to the useful and tear appart anything else.

And having something pleasing to the eye is quite often in direct contradiction with having a professional tool.

A good hammer does not have to be beautiful, it must just be a hammer. In fact, if I was to give you a hammer in gold with incrusted diamonds and nice decorations it would probably be a shitty hammer for the sake of planting nails.

So here it is.

  • I want a framework with insane density of information. Which is in direct opposition with best modern design practices when it come to website. Most new websites are just… Empty, full of nothingness for you to breathe… Fuck that.
  • A minimalistic framework. The framework should be mostly finished, I will probably not add many new features along the time. Having a constrained, limited number of components is the feature.
  • It should immediately be obvious, the application is for professional use, and should intimidate just by its look and feel any non core-developer to use it.
