CSS Grid Changes EVERYTHING - Amazing Presentation
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN commenters recommend it as an inspiring demonstration of how powerful CSS Grid is and how it repairs the relationship between HTML and CSS.
What it is
Morten Rand-Hendriksen's WordCamp Europe 2017 talk presents CSS Grid Layout as a native two-dimensional layout system that changes how web pages are structured, including responsive layouts independent of source order. It was given as browsers began shipping support.

You don't need to worry about UC browser if you aren't in China (that knocks several other browsers > 1% "global" share too). Opera Mini + IE11 is ~5.5% unsupported. One recommendation from the video the other day was also very good in this regard: [this video] Create something that works on mobile, then use grid to build outwards. Then you get reasonable views on unsupported platforms (the mobile-centric view, and most platforms that don't support grid are Mobile) and grid works where it can / needs to. IE11 will -never- support grid. Don't let that hold you back! (Unless you're specifically developing for an IE11-rich market)

I came across them from this video, when I heard the "it's almost like ASCII" part (I had it on in the background) something clicked in my head and I had to drop everything to try it out. [this video] Watch on for the 'crazy response design' part. I am still amazed.

CSS Grid Changes Everything - [this video] The speaker is good but I think I like it just because it fixes the relationship between HTML and CSS.

I am still blown away by how powerful CSS grid is. [this video] It's sad it doesn't get more use. Potwntially this is because CSS frameworks hide all this away and nobody is really learning CSS anymore but I wouldn't really know. I'm not really that exposed to the web front end side of things.

> A static layout will never know how to reflow itself when the window size changes; it needs code to define that behavior. This is no longer true. CSS grid solves this completely. [this video]
