CSS Grid - What is this Magic?!
summary
Demo builds a full app layout and a responsive notes grid using seven lines of CSS to define columns/rows with repeat(), the FR unit, minmax(), auto-fill/auto-fit and grid-gap, then nests a subgrid for consistent child columns. Uses Firefox’s CSS Grid inspector for debugging and shows a supports() fallback pattern for Internet Explorer quirks. Calls out that subgrid limited support (Firefox, Safari 16; Chromium pending) and reports roughly 97% global support for CSS Grid, so layouts work broadly with a small set of progressive-enhancement tweaks.
