Quickly and easily implement a 12 column grid from scratch, using CSS Grid

In responsive design, we think a lot about space, especially in the context of screen sizes.

Heydon Pickering walks us through a new idea for creating style breakpoints for quantities of HTML elements.

Did you know that CSS is Turing complete? Did you know that you can use it to do some pretty serious logical styling? Well you can!

I could wax lyrical about how anyone not using Grid will be left behind when the Rapture happens, and everybody on Wikipedia's list of Internet pioneers will come back to take us to the great LAN party in the sky. Comcast (yes, all of them) won't be invited. My point is that if you've been paying attention — if you're reading this, you probably do — then you know that stuff already. But let's just say that you...

I had never heard of the backdrop-filter property until yesterday, but after a couple of hours messing around with it I’m positive that it’s nothing more than magic.
