This is really nice (I love the subtle steam off the coffee on the page!), but I feel that basic grids like this are so straightforward to implement that anyone can whip one up for their project if they want one.
It's always good to have a template to start from like this, but I don't see it being much different than an on-the-fly one that I would throw together myself if I'm not using a framework.
- thisisdallas 14y agoHey thanks for the kind words! I completely agree with everything said. I also think in a lot of cases, there might be some projects that require a difference in a grid, if one is being used so building a grid specifically for each project isn't always a bad thing to do. That's actually why I created this grid, to fit a specfic project of mine. I am picky and wanted something that I couldn't already find so I decided to build one and throw it up on github.
- genwin 14y agoNot all of us are skilled at the front-end. I love your grid, especially how columns stack on resize, and wouldn't be able to just whip one up myself. The steam is cool too.
- sbarre 14y agoAbsolutely! I commend you for sharing your work, big or small, and I hope people can benefit from this.
- bpatrianakos 14y agoTrue but this also helps a lot of people who aren't as comfortable with CSS layouts to better understand how grids work. I remember when I was green having one hell of a time understanding how to position elements in a grid and no tutorial really made the idea stick until I used a couple of grid frameworks and messed with them. So I think there's more benefit to this than you'd imagine and as a professional developer myself I actually haven't seen a grid implemented in this way before and it actually gave me a couple of ideas.
