Gaps? Gasp!
6.4.2021
At first, there were flexboxes (the children of a display: flex container). If you wanted them to be visually separate, you had to use content justification (i.e. justify-content: space-between), margin trickery, or sometimes, both. Then along came grids (a …

You want minmax(10px, 1fr) not 1fr
22.1.2021
There are a lot of grids on the web like this:
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
}
My message is that what they really should be is:
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(10px, 1fr));
}
Why? In …

Building a hexagonal grid using CSS grid
18.6.2020
I think of grids as arrangements of rectangles with vertical and horizontal lines running through. And they are, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still do clever things in how we place things on those grids and what we do with the elements afterwards.
In this demo by Jesse Breneman,...

Constrained CSS grids without `max-width`
21.4.2020
Ain’t nothing wrong with max-width, but Ethan makes a point in the last sentence:
Rather than simply defaulting to max-width as a constraint, I can use the empty space around my design, and treat it as a layout tool.
If the space “around” your grid...

People Digging into Grid Sizing and Layout Possibilities
15.3.2019
Jen Simmons has been coining the term intrinsic design, referring to a new era in web layout where the sizing of content has gone beyond fluid columns and media query breakpoints and into, I dunno, something a bit more exotic. For example, columns that are sized more by content and guidelines than...
The Dark Side of the Grid
10.3.2019
Manuel Matuzovic makes the point that in order to use CSS grid in some fairly simple markup scenarios, we might be tempted to flatten our HTML to make sure all the elements we need to can participate on the grid. What we need is subgrid and non-buggy display: contents;, so I'd like to think in...

Grid Level 2 and Subgrid
8.5.2018
I find the concept of subgrid a little hard to wrap my mind around.
I do understand the idea that we want to use nested semantic markup as we like and have elements participate in one grid so we don't have to flatten our markup just for layout reasons. But that is largely handled by display:...
