Test post from UI, which I really like.

It's not _that_ brutal. It's clean and uncluttered, which last time I looked was supposed to be a vanilla web UI goal...

The brut in #brutalism is for French "raw, unpolished" rather than English "bestial, violent". I take #brutalist web design to mean web pages that look like web pages, not like mobile apps.

I was playing word games - I meant it didn't look that unpolished.
Your earlier posts on web brutalism found their mark here; I previously had no name for my feelings about this other than 'honesty'…

@shadowfirebird
Thanks!

The "not that unpolished" mainly comes from picking a reasonable CSS framework and not messing with it.

@gcupc @shadowfirebird
LOL -- exactly what I would have done, too! Front end is not my strong suit…
