CSS Grid — Responsive layouts and components
Let’s make a photo gallery responsive quickly and using very few lines of CSS.
Hello again! 👋 Today we’re going to talk about how to build responsive layouts while using CSS Grid. If you’re just starting with Grid, I recommend that you read my first blogpost before this one. Baby steps!
