Ask HN: Who is using css grid in production?

yellowapple8y ago· 2 in thread

I used it in a personal project (http://loyaltonmuseum.org/), since it made things a lot simpler. Few browsers support it natively, but there's a polyfill for it (https://github.com/FremyCompany/css-grid-polyfill) which supposedly supports just about all modern browsers (including IE9+).

this kind of looks like a site from the 90s

Thanks :)

But yeah, never said I had a good sense of visual design. It does work reasonably well for the target demographic, though (baby boomers and older for the most part), and at least there ain't any <marquee> or <blink> tags.

We don't use CSS Grid, 40% of our users don't support it in their browser. Judging by the five hours this post has been up, I feel like a lot of Hacker News doesn't use it either.

However, when support for it does go up, we're definitely migrating to it. It seems to have a really nice syntax.

I don't see why would anybody would need to migrate anything to grids. It would be more, use where appropriate. In my case, flexbox fixes more of my problems with css. CSS grids will be a nice addition but that's all.

I've had a couple designs now that essentially started as grid protypes and then converted to flexbox because for the time being flexbox seems a better compromise than the current JS-based grid polyfills.

I have experimented with it. I plan to start using it going forward, as most of our users have support for it in their browser.

I would if browsers supported it. Now we just need babel for CSS.
