Accordion Rows in CSS Grid

Another aspect of the meyerweb redesign I’d like to explore is the way I’m using CSS Grid rows to give myself more layout flexibility.

First, let’s visualize the default layout of a page here on meyerweb. It looks something like this:

So simple, even flexbox could do it! But that’s only if things always stay this simple. I knew they probably wouldn’t, because the contents in those two sidebars were likely to vary from one part of the site to another—and I would want, in some cases, for the sidebar pieces to line up vertically. Here’s an example:

That’s the basic layout of archive pages. See how the left sidebar’s Archives lines up with the top of the Feeds box in the right sidebar? That’s Grid for you. I thought about lumping the Feeds and Categories into a the same grid cell (thus making them part of the same grid row), which would have meant wrapping them in a <div>, but decided keeping them separate allows more flexibility in terms of responsive rearrangement of content. I can, for example, assign the Feeds to be followed by Archives and then Categories at mobile sizes. Or to reverse that order.

Creating a CSS Visual Cheatsheet

The other day one of our students asked about possibility of having a CSS cheatsheet to help to decide on the best suited approach when doing this or that layout.

This evolved into the idea of making a visual CSS cheatsheet with all (most) of the common patterns we see everyday and one of the best possible conceptual implementation for them.

In the end any layout could and should be split into parts/blocks and we see every block separately.

Here is our first take on that and we would be happy to keep extending it to help us all.

Please, send you suggestions in the comments in community or via gitlab for the repeated CSS patterns with your favourite implementation for that so that we will all together make this as useful as it can be.

This CSS Cut Out Effect is Guaranteed to Blow Your Mind 🤯

This effect is so cool and just fun to see. What it comes down to is having a background image show through the text.

How it works is that we will have a div that will have the image as a background. On that, we put our text element, using blend-mode it will show through the image.

The result you can see and touch on this Codepen.
