> Will you use this at all? What might you do with it? Recently, I was working on a timetable website that displayed information about class times. The user could have any combination of different classes, so the layout would have to respond dynamically to different content (per column). Just like this example (that uses JavaScript):  I think this is a perfect use case for horizontal masonry. I tried to achieve this layout with just CSS and no JavaScript, but I found that I was unable to. CSS Grid with auto columns comes close, but I couldn't get the cards to fill in available space. If the content was static, it would be no problem, but the content is dynamic and I can't provide an explicit column span ahead of time. I wanted a layout option that was in-between Flexbox and Grid; in other words, I wanted a single-axis grid. In this case, I needed rigid rows without columns so the cards could be explicitly placed on rows but have flexible widths. > Are there things you want to do that you can’t do with this model? Not exactly the model, more a specific implementation, but I messed around with the current masonry implementation in Firefox and it came close to what I needed. For the use case I was talking about, it would be great if I could set a card to have a width of 1fr and have it fill in available space. Also, grid-auto-flow: dense; only seems to pack in one item rather than as many that can fit. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Aps-x Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10233#issuecomment-2257617670 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
