This is really cool! It's interesting that you call it "cyberpunk," though. With a few exceptions, it seems like generic sci-fi to me; it wouldn't be out of place on Star Trek, I think.

If you asked me to imagine "cyberpunk web design," I would probably say HTML 1.0 with green-on-black text. Cyberpunk as a visual aesthetic is usually rooted in the dark future as seen from the '80s, all CRTs and chunky cables and Japan Inc.

This is a great look, regardless.

mmmmm yeahhh, not gonna argue that, I think you're probably right on all points. haha

The reason I made it though is because of my love of the Cyberpunk genre specifically. Deus Ex, Tron Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and so many more shows, games, and movies are where I draw inspiration from.

They always feature this style as if it was easy to do, just wanted to give back and help bring that to reality.

Thank you!

edit: also, augmentations/augs by that name, I think, are specifically cyberpunk. Augs as an idea fits very well as an analogy for both how this works under the hood and how it's used on the surface. Soooo it's more specifically Cyberpunk than generic sci-fi in that regard, imo. :)
