AT #smashingconf, @tkadlec.bsky.social is reminding us that betting on the browser (rather than JavaScript abstractions) is our best chance of long-term success.

I gave a lightning talk at yesterday’s @smashingconf.com Jam session on CSS masonry. Here are my slides.

In short: Masonry isn’t only for Pinterest-style layouts, doing Masonry on the web today is hard, but built-in Masonry support is coming to browsers very soon!
