UNBRØL — Radical Subtraction

UNBRØL is a digital infrastructure entity based in Brussels. We focus on removing clutter ("brol") to deliver high-performance, strictly essential web experiences.

Architecture

This project is built on a Zero-JS philosophy (with progressive enhancement) for maximum performance and durability.

Core Stack

• Engine: Astro (Static Site Generation)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS (v4 with @theme configuration)
• deployment: Cloudflare Pages
• Serverless: Cloudflare Pages Functions (Form handling)

Key Features

• CSS-Driven State: The "Human/Machine" toggle and Contact Overlay are controlled entirely via CSS Checkbox Hacks (:checked + peer selectors), requiring no client-side JavaScript for core navigation.
• Machine Layer: A raw JSON view of the site's content, exposed as a secondary interface layer.
• Progressive Enhancement: A custom cursor is added via vanilla JavaScript for desktop users, but the site remains fully functional without it.
