There’s a lot more to CSS Grid
• Named column lines • grid-template-area • grid-auto-rows / grid-auto-columns
/ grid-auto-flow • auto-fill & auto-fit • minmax More Grid features
• Source order and semantics are important • Use grid
placement for visual display, but be mindful of document order for speech and keyboard navigation • Tab order will follow document order, not visual order CSS Grid and Accessibility

Do we need grid systems?

– Miriam Suzanne http://oddbird.net/2017/06/28/susy3/ “If you have the browser-support matrix
to start using the CSS Grid module directly, you should do it, and forget about Susy.”
