csswg-drafts (original) (raw)

We just published an article about Grid Level 3 / Masonry layout on webkit.org, https://webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/, and at the end of the article, we asked web designers and developers to weigh in with their thoughts.

We opened this issue to provide a place for people to leave their input after reading the article, to especially answer these questions:

What do you think? Try it out. Write about it on your own blog. Describe what you do and don’t like about current implementations. Create some demos of your own to explore what else is possible.

Should “masonry”/“waterfall” be part of CSS Grid or a separate display type??

Do you want the capabilities to define a single-axis grid with CSS Grid — to use subgrid, spanning, explicit placement, and combining different track sizes? Or do you only want the ability to define a classic masonry layout with equal-sized columns?

Will you use this at all? What might you do with it?

Do you have links to demos you’ve made? We want to see your ideas and use cases.

Are there things you want to do that you can’t do with this model?
