Things don't get a lot of eyeballs on them on w3.org which defeats the object of the post which is to get developer feedback. It's pretty normal for CSSWG members to ask for opinions via tweets, on their own blogs, or in other pla

Grid also implements Box Alignment, just like flexbox. You can align the item inside the grid area. https://rachelandrew.co.uk/css/cheatsheets/box-alignment

The latest version of autoprefixer has the old grid support off by default, I'm not sure of a scenario in which it would be useful to be honest. The spec in IE10,11 and Edge is solid, it just is more limited than the updated spec.

That wouldn't work because it would rely on markup although display: table is pretty handy as a fallback for small UI elements in particular. The grid (and flexbox) specifications define how fallbacks should work, making it pretty stra

My daughter turns 20 this year. I learned Perl as a young, soon to be single, mother. I had no computer science background, I just wanted to learn to do more than the basic HTML I had already taught myself. That learning gave me a career. I

Creating HTML and CSS with the aid of a time machine would be far easier. The problem with HTML and CSS is that we can't break the web, and much of HTML and CSS comes from a time where the kind of things we want to do now couldn't

It is also worth remembering that flexbox was never designed for complete layouts. It's designed for one-dimensional layout. UI elements such as forms fields, navigation, sets of "card" etc. You run into a whole bunch of issu

That isn't the case. Firstly, you need to take a look at the browser stats for the site that you are working on. It may be that in your case you have a very high percentage of old IE users, and so for you, flexbox isn't an optio

My own experience is that I look for novelty outside of the main job I'm doing. Our product ( https://grabaperch.com ) is a PHP and MySQL CMS. A self-hosted PHP and MySQL CMS. That means that we are not only PHP, but we have

I think picking the right idea is the most important thing. A lot of the "never launched" side projects I see were just too big an idea to do as a side project. You need something relatively small, that you can build and launch qu
