Builds a Pinterest‑style masonry grid using CSS Grid and Ember modifiers, claiming a working Ember Photo Gallery demo that reflows responsively with no visible delay. Replaces heavy masonry.js positioning (2,500 lines, last released 2018) with a solution of less than 150 lines that uses ResizeObserver, grid-auto-rows set to 1px, per-item row-span calculations, and image-load promises (Unsplash demo). Code and live demo are available at Ember photo gallery / elwayman02.
