✨ I just published a new post, and it’s all about one of the most mind-blowing new CSS features: subgrid.
Honestly, when I first heard about subgrid, I figured it’d be a convenient little utility. I had no idea it would solve one of the most longstanding issues I’ve had with CSS. 😮

Have you heard of CSS Subgrid? 🤔
A grid item can now pass its parent's grid lines to children, so nested elements align perfectly with the outer layout.
No more hacky workarounds for aligned nested grids.

Subgrid can be a little finicky to work with at times, but if you have something with a fixed layout with variable amounts of content in that layout, it really shines.

I *expected* the AI to miss this detail, and to produce a layout that was close-but-not-quite-right. Instead, it produced a big mess. 😂
