Ask HN: Who is using css grid in production?
- codefined 9y agoWe don't use CSS Grid, 40% of our users don't support it in their browser. Judging by the five hours this post has been up, I feel like a lot of Hacker News doesn't use it either. However, when support for it does go up, we're definitely migrating to it. It seems to have a really nice syntax.
- gaastonsr 9y agoI don't see why would anybody would need to migrate anything to grids. It would be more, use where appropriate. In my case, flexbox fixes more of my problems with css. CSS grids will be a nice addition but that's all.
- revmoo 9y agoThe fact that the folks in charge of CSS cooked up flexbox and then immediately came out with grids just drives me crazy. (Yes I know there are differences, but they both aim to solve similar layout challenges). I'm torn; on one hand having a shitty godawful CSS spec is good for job security, but it's an absolute mess and it really doesn't have to be.
- WorldMaker 9y agoI've had a couple designs now that essentially started as grid protypes and then converted to flexbox because for the time being flexbox seems a better compromise than the current JS-based grid polyfills.
- alexswensen 9y agoI have experimented with it. I plan to start using it going forward, as most of our users have support for it in their browser.
- dsschnau 9y agoI do, its pretty great
- yellowapple 9y agoI used it in a personal project (http://loyaltonmuseum.org/ http://loyaltonmuseum.org/), since it made things a lot simpler. Few browsers support it natively, but there's a polyfill for it (https://github.com/FremyCompany/css-grid-polyfill https://github.com/FremyCompany/css-grid-polyfill) which supposedly supports just about all modern browsers (including IE9+).
- sixQuarks 9y agothis kind of looks like a site from the 90s
- revmoo 9y agoHah wow you are right. Looks like a coder designed it
- yellowapple 9y agoThanks :) But yeah, never said I had a good sense of visual design. It does work reasonably well for the target demographic, though (baby boomers and older for the most part), and at least there ain't any <marquee> or <blink> tags.
- pratikborsadiya 9y agoI think it is missing spacing inside elements. Add some spacing in your content area and it will look better.
- quickthrower 9y agoYes. It loads instantly on my phone without crashing Chrome and is truly responsive. A rare webpage indeed.
- shadow_banned 9y agoHoly hell that is awful design.
- taurath 9y agoI would if browsers supported it. Now we just need babel for CSS.
