About this episode

Kevin Powell discusses the complexities and simplifications of CSS Grid and subgrid.

In this episode I dive into why I think it’s best to simplify Grid as much as possible, but how that can be a bit at odds with some of the ways I use it, as well as the inherit complexities that subgrid adds to the mix. 🔗 Links The New CSS Toolkit: https://smashingconf.com/online-workshops/workshops/css-toolkit-kevin-powell/ The named grid lines to replace containers/wrappers: https://youtu.be/c13gpBrnGEw CSS Demystified: https://cssdemystified.com/ Stripe’s developer site: https://stripe.dev/
