Ahhh the grid, I remember that. There was another highly touted company around the same time that also had some mildly interesting tech and ideas sort of in the same vein but just burned through VC money. I was hoping the grid layout system based on constraints would mature enough to become a proper css standard at some point. We did eventually get css grid, which is pretty good, but having a constraints solver in css would be pretty neat. (Or just a performance nightmare.)

- mstade 3y agoIt's not, but I appreciate you sharing this anyway – thank you! I was referring mostly to GSS: https://gss.github.io/ https://gss.github.io/ I think it was an interesting idea that unfortunately didn't really work out. This was before both flex and grid layouts were a thing, so anything new in this space was exciting really. It's a much better css layout world today than it was 8-10 years ago, and particularly grid layout is a very welcome change, but I can't help but think some great ideas have been left by the wayside. Maybe for good reasons, but still.
