Show HN: Tuff Toucan Steal a Brainrot Wiki – A "Neo-Brutalist" Game Database
tufftoucan.comHi HN,
I built Steal A Brainrot Wiki (https://tufftoucan.com/), a deep-dive database for one of the most chaotic and viral subcultures on Roblox.
Most game wikis today are hosted on platforms like Fandom, which have become increasingly difficult to use due to heavy ad-loading, aggressive tracking, and cluttered UI. My goal was to create a high-performance, standalone alternative that actually matches the "aggressive" aesthetic of the game it documents.
The Design Philosophy (Acid Graphics & Neo-Brutalism) Instead of a traditional clean/minimalist SaaS look, I went for a "Neo-Brutalist" style combined with "Acid Graphics"—high-contrast colors (#DFFF00), raw industrial borders, and CRT-style scanlines. The idea was to make the Wiki feel like a tactical terminal or a "classified" database found within the game universe.
Key Features:
ROI & Yield Analytics: Beyond simple lists, the site provides cost-benefit analyses for in-game assets like the "Tuff Toucan" (which has a $2.7B fabrication cost). Fabrication Protocols: A node-based visual guide for multi-step character crafting. Event Archiving: Deep-linked guides for limited-time event cycles (2025/2026). Performance: Built with Next.js 14 and Tailwind CSS for near-instant page transitions and zero ads. Tech Stack:
Next.js 14 (App Router) TypeScript Tailwind CSS (Custom design tokens for the Acid palette) Lucide React for the industrial iconography I’d love to get feedback from the HN community on the UI/UX—specifically the readability of the "Acid Graphics" style and the overall performance of the navigation.
