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: [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)
Read original comment ↗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. [VIDEO] Watch on for the 'crazy response design' part. I am still amazed.
Read original comment ↗CSS Grid Changes Everything - [VIDEO] The speaker is good but I think I like it just because it fixes the relationship between HTML and CSS.
Read original comment ↗I am still blown away by how powerful CSS grid is. [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.
Read original comment ↗> 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. [VIDEO]
