The Outline VS Brutalist Websites

For example a site that I liked called The Outline stopped publishing content in 2020 and they leave the site online at least for now https://theoutline.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

The Verge did a whole website redesign in an attempt to stay relevant, having not learned the lessons from the failures of Joshua Topolsky's The Outline, which imploded due in part to its horrific design. Source: over 1 year ago

Reminds me of some the design decisions made on https://theoutline.com/. Same school of thought, design over functionality. Source: over 1 year ago

It basically reeks of whatever Joshua Topolsky was involved with (https://theoutline.com). I've always thought a large reason why it failed was the messy web design, looks like The Verge wants to go that way too. Source: over 1 year ago

Since you asked, I thought The Outline had a unique and compelling UI/UX but sadly it’s parent company shit it down so it’s been dormant for 2 years: https://theoutline.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

A couple of years back there was this movement called "Brutalist web design" you might be interested in. I can't say I like the style too much but I think there are technical merits to Brutalist web design, accessibility being one of them. Source: about 1 year ago

I also don't really see the brutalism in this, it needs to be raw, louder, have more "attitude" and personality. Don't really know how to explain it, found a website that collect brutalist websites, it should give a better idea of what I'm after. A lot comes down to typography since brutalist design is very bare and raw. A more interesting font (or fonts) and more aggressive font sizes will help a lot for instance. Source: over 1 year ago

Is it defined by concrete buildings? I think brutalism has a bit more going on than just concrete buildings when you look into it. You can even find brutalist web design floating around. Source: over 1 year ago

It’s got the brutalist aesthetic going on. Source: over 1 year ago
