i completed viewing cssgrid.io in 2 days. grid is receiving a lot of attention recently and the caniuse is all green for major browsers.

grid has very nice features in particular

  • grid gap
  • grid template areas
  • minmax spacing
  • spans
  • negative number reference
  • auto flow support (probably a bad idea to use this though)

and the media query reshuffling is as wonderful as promised.

but it cannot handle

  • variable length items
  • scrubbers

i also loved the fact that wesbos took the chance to show off

  • css variables
  • css animation
  • linear-gradient
  • pseudoselectors (nth child, before, after)
  • order -1 media query
  • html5 tags like figcaption
