For a CSS design site, this looks fairly bad to my eye. I'm not any kind of UX expert, it just looks clunky:

- Lots of text seems slightly offset. It's not all centered within buttons etc.

- The text also doesn't seem to quite line up with the icon on said buttons (it feels relatively a little too high)

- Similarly the text within the little notification popups ("New") isn't centered and hits the top of the outline

- The colours have poor contrast. I don't have any vision impairment but the peach colour doesn't feel distinct enough from the purple/lavender to me. (It's better in light mode when the peach turns to a stronger red).

- On that note, maybe yellow was not the best background for the beer badge when most of the glass is yellow with a bit of white.

I don't know if there's something that makes this render any differently for me than anyone else. I'm using Chrome though so I wouldn't have thought it'd be especially unusual.

I only see a blank white page.

I'd expect that people who are specifically trying to show me an interesting CSS library could make at least something show up on the page without JavaScript.

As a matter of policy, I don't whitelist sites that give me neither a clear reason nor initial content.

With the first project advertised being a Rust implementation of Remote Desktop, I’m really confused what’s going on here. The whole website feels like a weird hallucination…

IronRDP web client apparently uses Beer CSS. I go agree, though, it is a questionable choice for a showcase.
