Tachyons: Plans to add the new CSS `display: grid`?

[kmcgillivray]

CSS Grid is about to turn green in most browsers – any plans for a grid module? I may be interested in helping if so, or getting it started if not and you're open to including it.

How long before mainstream support? I waited 7 years for flexbox, lol

Hi @kmcgillivray - thanks for the question. I might put together an optional add-on module. Not planning on making it a part of core at this point in time. A principle of tachyons is inclusivity and accessibility - which generally means stuff isn't always bleeding edge as I aim to make website work on as many devices / browsers as easily as possible. To be honest, I am still unsure about the value of having flexbox in core as it's not as widely supported as I'd like.

Cheers.

I run Tachyons through autoprefixer and flexbox support is up to 99% coverage for my user base, which is old people reading our daily newspaper site on their old ass computer, middle aged people reading on their work computer, young people reading on their phones, and Russian scraper bots.

I have yet to get one complaint, and people ALWAYS complain about the newspaper.
