Are you using position: absolute; to overlap elements? It's almost always better to Use CSS Grid instead!

And you can make it more concise with grid-area: 1 / 1;

It’s a hack but a hack that I love. And one that technically the layout engine is purposely written to support.

hah yeah, I'm not sure I'd even call it a hack - its a feature of CSS grid to have multiple items on grid rows/cols

Cool demo! I dreamt of this back in 2017 And in 2020 posted it was possible with grid. There’s likely updates I need to make to that posts.

Awesome! I also included it in my course back then too. Just re-surfacing as I still don't see it used a ton

you can stack elements with css grid/subgrid by giving them the same grid position 🧑‍🍳 this scroll track window is a great use case for css grid + position: sticky catch the 3D breakdown 👇

Future UI && CSS Tip! 🔮 You could use View Transitions to animate CSS grid position and create an OSX-style exposé for a portfolio 🔥 It's a grid where things move based on state. Wrapped in a VT 🤙 [data-expose] section{ grid-area:var(--x)/var(--y); } CodePen.IO link below 👇

Is this a hack? What about stack order? Fine grain control? A few more tips on using CSS Grid instead of absolute positioning. I really like the named grid area one!

Protip: if you want to understand why more elements paint than expected (to compare rendering libraries, for example), you can use the Layer tool inspect it. hint: it's css, not javascript

Updated my SVG-to-CSS converter to support multiple path elements. An easy way to convert complex SVG shapes into CSS. It's a single-element implementation with a single shape() value! You can also have the border-only version using border-shape.

Are you using AI to think better or to avoid thinking? Many use AI to outsource their thinking. It's fast. It's easy. It feels productive. But it will quietly hollow you out. There's a better path, Jim VandeHei argues.

CSS Trick 🖼️ You could take the resize trick from last week and use it to create one of those sliding image components 👀 CSS only, JavaScript to enhance later 🤓 Put an image in each panel and make them position: absolute. They can use a container query unit for their size 🫶 img { position: absolute; width: 100cqi; // Make them the container width 🤙 } .panel:last-of-type img { right: 0; } The rest of the trick from last week was using display:grid with grid-template-columns. Then we have a resizable element inside the first column 😎 .panels{ display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto 1fr; 👈 } .resizer{ max-width: 100cqi; overflow: hidden; resize: horizontal; 👈 } Where does JavaScript come in? To progressively enhance the thing with keyboard controls ✨ Not 100% sure of the pattern for that though. Feels like it should be a button that you can toggle into resize mode and then use left/right to resize 🤔 Anyways, CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Future CSS Tip! 🔮 (This one's close 🤏) You can use "subgrid" to give child elements access to a parent's grid tracks 👀 This is great when you want to make sure content lines up 🙌 Check those cards 👇 article { grid-row: span 4; display: grid; grid-template-rows: subgrid; 👈 } In this example, article uses grid but makes use of the tracks defined by the parent layout container. That makes it easier to line up content within the cards 🙏 Cool thing is, we don't even need to define the rows in the parent. We use the implicit ones from the parent. main { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr)) } This might be easier to understand with the video below that shows the grid tracks using DevTools and toggles subgrid on and off 🤙 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

a smoother radius transform version using css. no framer motion used here. for auto height transition using css `grid` inspired by jhey ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ. when collapsed `grid-rows-[0fr]` and expanded `grid-rows-[1fr]`. and that with `ease-out-cubic` with `300ms` makes it feel just perfect ~
