I just learned Tailwind CSS v4, and I wanted to explore its new features through a hands-on project. I decided to redesign a familiar interface – the Google homepage — but with a strong, experimental twist: the Neobrutalism design style.
This project allowed me to experiment with Tailwind's expanded functionality, create a fully responsive layout, and implement both light and dark mode themes, all while having fun with a unique UI approach.
🧱 About the Project
The goal was to replicate Google's homepage and combine it with Neobrutalist themes.
✨ Key Features
✅ Neobrutalist Theme: Strong borders, vibrant accents, flat backgrounds
✅ Dark and Light Mode Support: Toggle between modes using simple utility classes
✅ Fully Responsive: Optimized for all device sizes — from mobile to desktop

- Why it’s key to mix creative ideas with easy-to-use designs
- How to add dark and light modes without making things heavy
Conclusion
This was a cool little test where I mixed a well-known interface with a bold design style. It got me rethinking how layouts, colors, and accessibility can work together.
