The CSS Working Group uses GitHub primarily, and any minutes from IRC are added to the issue. Here: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues You are very welcome to contribute!

Grid has alignment: https://rachelandrew.co.uk/css/cheatsheets/box-alignment

Grid also implements Box Alignment, just like flexbox. You can align the item inside the grid area. https://rachelandrew.co.uk/css/cheatsheets/box-alignment

The latest version of autoprefixer has the old grid support off by default, I'm not sure of a scenario in which it would be useful to be honest. The spec in IE10,11 and Edge is sol…

It is also worth remembering that flexbox was never designed for complete layouts. It's designed for one-dimensional layout. UI elements such as forms fields, navigation, sets of "…

That isn't the case. Firstly, you need to take a look at the browser stats for the site that you are working on. It may be that in your case you have a very high percentage of old …

That would depend entirely on the browsers you need to support. For example I have a product aimed at web designers. Our support in terms of our marketing site for the up to date f…

My own experience is that I look for novelty outside of the main job I'm doing. Our product ( https://grabaperch.com ) is a PHP and MySQL CMS. A self-hosted PHP and MySQL CMS. That…

According to my parents I could read at age 3, I can certainly remember petitioning my father to be allowed to read The Hobbit when I was 5. My mother got into trouble when I start…
