Grid: for creating containers for fluid content to fill

Flexbox: for stacking rigid blocks of content in the most efficient way possible

Does this even make sense?

Intuitively, grid is rigid and flexbox is fluid. But it's the other way around for their contents?

Looking for examples of things you can do with grid that you cannot do with flexbox.

Has anyone found any? Bonus points for nice, well-written articles.

Been saying this for a while but the really exciting stuff on the web right now is all about how things we used to need JS for can now be done with pure CSS.

There are a lot of opportunities to cut out client side bloat.

Huh?

At the time I thought you were understandably a bit nervous ... but never this ...

Hope you feel better now.

Please name your favourite I-used-to-do-this-with-JavaScript-but-now-I-don't-need-to CSS properties/functionalities.

Are you using CSS Grid? If you write CSS & code layouts on the web, and not using Grid — why not?!?

I see so many sites that still use only Flexbox for 100% of their layout. 0% Grid.

Why?

What would help?

I hear people say it’s hard. Is it? What’s hard?

What do you want to learn about CSS Grid?

Mastodon is European politics, more subdued and complex, currently more interested in long term policies because they're clearer than short term ones.

Thanks, doctor! I feel much better now that I can safely ignore you.

Happy to help!

But nothing's said about banning social media for over-50 men who feel that they failed in life and that that's Somebody Else's fault. And to me that is a much better idea that will improve quality of life for many more people.

That is good to hear. Why don't you do all three Smashings in New York in January, then?

You're not running into unaffordable hotels anywhere by any means, are you?

Last week's food poisoning is well and truly gone, and even my elbow is behaving decently.

Now let's see ... work, how did one do that again?

Maybe AI is really a virus that spreads by making its host talk about how inevitable AI adoption is.

I saw, yes ...

... or submit a proposal ...

What were @adactio.com and @stephenhay.bsky.social up to here? They look like a mad scientist and his sidekick.

These people apparently can't imagine a world without Big Tech.
"Freedom fighters allow colonization of headspace by Big Tech!"

Which of the two is the bigger problem in the long run?

So Apple and Google are removing anti-ICE apps to get in good with Trumpistan.
"Big Tech is in the pockets of Trumpistan!"
OK, I get that. It's true.

But the obvious solution is to create a website and host it outside the US. That never appears to occur to anyone.

Same. Masto has its own problems, but right now Bsky tires me out way sooner.

Suddenly, out of the blue, missing the @cityjsconf.bsky.social crew.

Looked at the London dates, can't make it this year. 😔

Entering final grift stage.

Traditionally here; I booked my room earlier this week.

Je kan dus kennelijk ook tijdelijk sterven, naast permanent. Jammer dat Rechts NL daar nou weer niet op in gaat.

I'm old enough to remember that no one understood it, not even the people who created it.

So: has anyone solved it for me?

Thanks.

Rested all day, thanking myself for thorough preparation.

CSS Day 2026, 11th & 12th of June, Amsterdam CSS Day is the conference for CSS designers, developers, spec writers, and browser vendors.

Well, CSS Day is live now ( https://cssday.nl ) and I've got a bunch of related things to do but unfortunately I'm ill and can hardly concentrate.

So the going will be very slow this time.
