They're not that complex if you understand CSS And let's face it… to understand the example code you only need understand what > + * do in CSS Using intrinsic sizing, and the sorts of approaches Andy Bell suggests reduces the volume of CSS enormously and can often get rid of media queries and huge numbers of selectors that get repeated across viewport sizes I'd really encourage you to watch this talk by Andy [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗> I don't know how useful this is. The website that is the subject of this discussion comes from Andy Bell. I would encourage you to see his other work, e.g. Every Layout[1], and the website[2] linked to a recent talk he gave[3]. In particular the answer to your question can be found at 14:38[4] in the talk, perhaps more precisely the slide he shows at 14:59. [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [VIDEO] [4] [VIDEO]
