How about a textarea component that expands as needed to fit the content?

This is the smallest/easiest trick to do what you need(see full code in the embedded Codebox): https://css-tricks.com/the-cleanest-trick-for-autogrowing-te...

You might have to figure out how to properly set it up in React

It would be far more brutal to just limit all textareas to 30 characters and let the user suffer.

I get you're craking a joke, which made me laugh, but just in case you weren't aware the original meaning of "Brutalism" was from the French word "brut" or "raw". Think raw concrete, not "being brutal to someone".

As you're asking for feedback: the components are not accessible. I've assessed a lot of UI libraries [1] and most of them have issues. You can start with running Lighthouse (Audit tab in Chrome) to get and fix at least all the tool-detectable issues.

This is great.

Just yesterday, i was looking for something like this, and found: https://themeforest.net/item/bruddle-neo-brutalism-ui-kit-fo... - Having actual react components will make it much easier to build new stuff.

I really like the look and feel, but I believe my next side project will be more pixel design/90s, which looks more "techy" for me.

Good effort! (I mean that)

Not a criticism of your project, but could someone give me an idea as to why neobrutalism is popular at the moment? I first noticed this trend on Gumroad's site. It def looked cool, but more sites seem to have adopted this style, so much so it seems like an entire design pattern (sort of like material). It doesn't strike me as "timeless", more like a cool trend.

I did not understand this part: I created this collection of components for people who want to learn more about neobrutalism. There was nothing explaining what "neobrutalism" is.

Brutalism is a architectural style that was particularly popular in the 50s and 60s, characterised by lots of concrete and flat surfaces. See for instance the Boston City Hall or Trellick Tower in London.

Neobrutalist is a term that is being used quite a bit now to refer to user interface designs with a similar aesthetic, that being plain colours and sharp angles.
