Balsamiq Mockups

Using Balsamiq Mockups feels like you are drawing, but its digital, so you can tweak and rearrange...

Looks more like wireframism to me - for example https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/.

I appreciate "neobrutalism" is really a very different movement to architectural brutalism, but I'm not sure how the first examples the author provides [1] can really be compared to the original brutalist movement at all. Sure, they use heavy contrast & minimal colour, but to my understanding at least, the most important aspects of brutalism were its focus on exposing the raw materials with which buildings were constructed, its geometry, and its overall minimalism. To me, examples like [2], [3], [4], [5] would be the closest the modern web can really get to "brutalism", but for some reason I can't imagine design blogs will be fawning over them. 1: https://img2.storyblok.com/860x0/filters:format(webp)/f/117250/1400x637/61e86390ac/brut6.jpeg 2: https://secretgeek.github.io/html_wysiwyg/html.html 3: https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ 4: http://txti.es/ 5: https://news.ycombinator.com/news.

Dead simple, drag & drop personal websites

Good article with some interesting conceptual theory and visual examples! I'm a Gumroad user and I do like their admin panel because it follows this kind of style. I'd personally call it "pop-art inspired" rather than giving it a label however. I'm sure I saw a similarly detailed article from another site talking about "glassmorphism", and that never really took off. There's a page builder that's built with this kind of neo-Geocities aesthetic that's pretty fun: https://build.mmm.page/ (prior HN discussion about mmm.page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27128424#27131476.
