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

Hi 👋 Thanks for the opportunity to share some thoughts - I really liked the article and it comes at a fantastic time as we are doing redesigns of our website. This has been inspirational!

> Should “masonry”/“waterfall” be part of CSS Grid?

Yes. 

> Do you want the capabilities to define a columnar grid with CSS Grid — to use subgrid, spanning, explicit placement, and all the many options for track sizing? Or do you only want the ability to define a classic masonry layout with equal-sized columns?

Variable column sizes would be preferable. These allow for wider range of design options, and I would expect it to not be an uncommon design pattern. The use of subgrid would also be a fantastic capability that I would prefer to see included.

> Will you use this? What might you create with it?

We offer users a way to curate (research) works and are looking to provide them with a visually appealing, dynamic, and scalable way to present the curated content. We want to provide them with an option to present their curated works in magazine/print quality layouts, without having to put in much work to do so. The columnar grid would be perfect for this.

> Are there things you want to do that you can’t do with this model?

I also wondered about horizontal options, similar to a previous comment raised. I can imagine this also to be an interesting design element if at all possible.

I have not previously contributed to a W3C discussion, so if I missed anything in how to contribute, I am happy to expand further upon request 😊
