I would have liked to have seen a html { color-scheme: light dark; } thrown in there, but otherwise that's fantastic. I also love seeing the nice big line-height on there... so many people go 1.5 and, yeah it's better, but not better enough 😅

Might just make my own based on the recent video I did 😄

are you using this reset btw?

html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

*::before,
*,
*::after {
  box-sizing: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

*::before,
*,
*::after {
  box-sizing: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

also try, not last child hack

>*:not(:last-child){
 // w/e
 margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}

>*:not(:last-child){
 // w/e
 margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}

If I'm doing a minimal site, nah. The box-sizing: inherit is only useful if you know you'll be using 3rd party things, and these days, I think all 3rd party things assume you've reset it anyway 🤷 Also, if I'm doing a minimal starter, not even sure if you need to bother with it. It's so much less important than it used to be with layouts using flexbox and grid now anyway.

aolkoOP•2y ago

speaking of grid, still no way to fill the cols, like flex: 1; or span x?

Kevin Powell•2y ago

Like, if there are multiple rows and there's one lonely element at the bottom just hanging there by itself? If so, then no, but that's also not really what grid was intended for, just use flexbox then (since the rows are independent from one another)

[1][2][3][4]
[1][fill   ]
[1][2][fill]
[1][fill][4]

[1][2][3][4]
[1][fill   ]
[1][2][fill]
[1][fill][4]

[1][2][3][4]
[5][6][7][8]

[fill][3][4]
[    ][7][8]

you know, like big square spaces with span

Well, you can do all of that, but you need to be pretty explicit about it... https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/JjmVYmm/55a920e29e01b0fd8a5f81a5390b99aa

manually, yes, but how about with automatic flow/repeat? No matter the number of elements

Kevin Powell•2y ago

How important is the order of the elements?

aolkoOP•2y ago

should be the usual first to last, ltr found a better set of samples https://grid-tiles.webflow.io/

https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/gOByaQb/7bf44797bf4e3d2034a4e628f7219906?editors=1100 That looks a bit like masonry, which will eventually come with grid-template-rows: masonry but might be awhile off (you can play with it in FF though)

saw a lib for that https://muuri.dev/
