CSS Grid: It's Time to Take a Serious Look

I don't mean to come across as rude, but I don't really understand the point of this article. I thought maybe it would be a guide to learning CSS grid, but all it's saying is that we should go out and learn it ourselves. And then you only link two resources. Maybe I'm just missing something.

If you write a blog post about CSS Grid without linking to the work of Rachel Andrews (https://gridbyexample.com/) or Jen Simmons (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TizprGknbDalbHplROtag) then you've missed a huge opportunity to help your readers.

While they link to CanIUse (great site) to make the point it is supported by almost all browsers... it is still only 87.56%.

Which for most of the products I work on means extra work to make sure the layout degrades gracefully in those browsers. While as long as your stakeholders don't mind that it looks completely different (but conveys the same meaning) on old browsers it is not "too" difficult. The lack of polyfill makes degrading to look identical us impractical.

The article should at least mention that.

All in all I agree with some other posters. This article has about as much value added as a tweet. And you would rarely see a tweet on hacker news. That's not to say it it shouldn't exist. I love tweets, just not on HN.

Great article on the subject: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/11/css-grid-supporting...

Edit: To beard since apparently this is self posted. I noticed you've been posting a lot of your own articles. I appreciate your involvement in Hacker News. Generally it is frowned upon to post your own articles unless it is a "Show HN" post. You would have more impact if you focused on quality over quantity.

The most useless post in the history of HN.
