Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Designer/developer feedback on masonry layout (#10233)

I used the Masonry jQuery plugin back in the day for a few things, and I've missed it in a number of places since then. I've even built similar systems with JavaScript and CSS Grid, by defining absurd numbers of rows and dynamically calculating a row span for each item, which allowed me to do some of the neat column-spanning and column-picking seen in Jen's examples.

Extending CSS Grid with "masonry rows" seems like a great idea to me, and the right place for it. That would allow us web devs to grow our existing knowledge as the possibilities grow, and to leverage our existing code and understanding as we do so. We've already seen how flexbox and grid are (wrongly) viewed as competitors; adding yet another fundamental layout would just confuse things more. Empowering the layouts we have is the better option.
