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

I see Jen's promotion of this in my Fedi feed, and I just tried some of her demos, especially the photos demo. I guess my concern is not particularly with 'Masonry' but with the 'modern' trend toward web pages designed for huge screens. I have two main routes (limited by lousy vision). The smallest iPhone, where after a confusing delay the photos demo reverted to a vertical scroll of single images (that didn't seem connected to the grid images I'd been able to see). And a 1920x1080 Linux view where what's left of the browser window after headers and toolbars took about a minute to fill up with one-third of the full example - many images a half-inch across. Scrolling to the other 2/3 happened painfully slowly, with the image grid filling in random order. 

Maybe I missed it, but is there any 'Responsive' technology being discussed to make these new web features work for people who don't have the huge screen area to take advantage of them? Or for people dependent on Alt text? WAVE shows no Alt text at all in the demo. And if there was, a grid of 51 images would be a bit much to navigate...  

In that vein, WAVE finds no headings! "Headings ... provide important document structure, outlines, and navigation functionality to assistive technology users." There really needs to be some rational structure within the page for those of us who can't just glance at the whole wall of images at once! 

If someone knows a better place to post this issue, please suggest!
