What do you all think of this in contrast to Firefox's Grid Inspector? More useful? Less useful? Serving different purposes? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-U

To put my question another way, I'm trying to figure out where people really need help while creating Grid layouts. Whether we need tools to deeply inspect existing layouts, or whether we just need tools to quickly generate layouts (like Sarah's tool).
Disclosure: I work on Chrome DevTools.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoI am a dev so I would not use a generator. A tool which gives me instant feedback on the code I write is much more useful. So Firefox CSS Grid and Flexbox inspectors are extremely useful.
- onion2k 7y agoI am a dev so I would not use a generator. Every good dev I've ever worked with uses generators of some sort or another. There are entire languages dedicated to code generation and scaffolding apps (Cargo, Rails, Yeoman etc.. Yeoman even has generator generators for making new generators). If you're not using them then you're missing a massively useful productivity hack.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoYou’re right. Mine was not a blanket statement but sounded like one. I do use rails generators; if possible I’d never want to touch webpack config. However I would not use css grid generators because I’d prefer the understanding and precision of hand coding css grid specifically.
