NeoBrutalism: A Fresh Take on Modern Web Design 🎨

Hey developers! 👋 Are you tired of the same old, overly polished design systems? Let me introduce you to NeoBrutalism – a CSS library that brings bold, raw design back to the web.

What is NeoBrutalism?

NeoBrutalism is more than just a CSS library. It's a design philosophy that says:

  • Design should be clear
  • Functionality beats fancy animations
  • Bold is beautiful

Key Features 🚀

  • 2px Bold Borders: Every component has a distinct, high-contrast border
  • Crisp Box Shadows: Adding depth and interaction to your design
  • Minimal Aesthetic: Clean, no-nonsense approach to UI
  • Fully Responsive: Works seamlessly across all devices
  • Utility-First Design: Inspired by Tailwind, but with a unique twist

Why Another CSS Library?

In a world of soft shadows and pastel colors, NeoBrutalism stands out. We believe design should be:

  • Readable
  • Functional
  • Unapologetically Bold

Design Philosophy

NeoBrutalism is a rebellion against over-designed interfaces. It's about:

  • Clarity over complexity
  • Function over form
  • Honesty in design

Key Components

  • Buttons with attitude
  • Forms that pop
  • Cards with character
  • Responsive layouts
  • Utility classes

Performance Matters

  • Lightweight (< 15kb gzipped)
  • No external dependencies
  • Blazing fast

Who Should Use NeoBrutalism?

  • Developers who want to stand out
  • Designers tired of bland interfaces
  • Startups looking for a unique brand identity
  • Anyone who loves bold design
