CSS Grid as display option for Divs

[Louis]

Thanks for taking the time to write down your thoughts and impressions @owynter.

Overall, I can understand and appreciate your concerns about the way we’ve handled the Columns block in a whole. We might review it in the future (maybe have a Pro Columns block) which allows more precise control over the Grid element.

@owynter

That it adds blocks (additional containers) to create grid child elements feels unintuitive to me.

Good point.
We based ourselves on how the Gutenberg Columns block was designed at the start, which is a limiting factor for us now since the container is necessary and cannot be removed. But a Pro Columns block could be the solution.

@owynter

The min-height issue (which I see you have confirmed), so that will go away soon enough.

Fixed in our next update

@owynter

Gap units are restricted to pixels only (may be worth a separate feature request?)

Good point, will add that to our to-do.

@owynter

Overall it tends to feel a bit fiddly, if that makes sense. I feel less confident in the results, and it takes some trial and error. I’m sure I will eventually learn how this specific element works, but it definitely feels like a departure from how Cwicly does other things (again, see flexbox). Maybe you’ve spoiled me

I’m sad to hear that. We certainly did focus on trying to make the Grid easy to use:
