Every Layout - Relearn CSS, by example

If you find yourself wrestling with CSS layout, it’s likely you’re making decisions for browsers they should be making themselves. Through a series of simple, composable layouts, Every Layout will teach you how to better harness the built-in algorithms that power browsers and CSS.

I think this is great and have absolutely no bias whatsoever. [fake moustache falls off]

@hankchizljaw Lol. Gotta give props for the sense of humour. It looks good though, will definitely give it a go.

Read the demo chapters and found the concepts and semantics you guys teach quite eye-opening. It's a good philosophy. I think personally I'd find it hard to implement as CSS is terrible, but I could definitely see someone learning this and having great gains. I feel like this is can provide the 'aha!' moment for CSS for those looking for it - as in those that currently find it clunky (like me). Great work guys - I like the way you guys write and present information

Tackles one of the biggest challenges in CSS head-on: how to model layout so that it’s clear, robust, flexible and maintainable. Does a brilliant job of showing how the algorithmic capabilities of flex & grid let us defer work to the browser that previously relied on brittle, imperative approaches. Really impressive stuff.

I love the visual examples & concise wording. I'm all about picking up principles and patterns and this fits in nicely! I'm sure with time , this pattern library is going to grow. This page in particular is absolutely awesome for visual grepping when you don't know the name of what your looking for or your needing inspiration: https://every-layout.dev/layouts/ Suggestions: - The bundle comes with set of custom elements, that's cool but I think more people will get use and time out of the actual content. I'm more likely to go "I know there's a UX pattern" then go grab a code snippet and use that. I can find code snippets online on github easily with search, but it's harder to find nicely condensed resources like this one.

Just. Wow. You’ve both put a lot of love, thought and hard work into this. I just read through all of your blogs. Your ethos behind this is tops!
