Masonry and reading order
Masonry and reading order êŽë š
Two months back there was a bit of a hubbub about masonry layout in CSS with Jen at Apple making a case and Rachel at Google agreeing those use cases would be great, but should be based on display: masonry;
not display: grid;
.
Then: nothing. Web standards just move at the pace that it moves and thatâs usually good slow. But I admit Iâm a little surprised that itâs been radio silence. I think there is a CSS Working Group meeting in Spain this very week though so weâll see if that ignites anything.
My own feedback said this is partially a conversation about tabbing order, and it definitely is. So then the bigger question becomes, does this tabbing issue need to be solved as a part of masonry? Or can we solve it more broadly? Rachel introduces the idea that it can be more broadly solved.
⊠my personal hope is that we can land the proposal forÂ

 before we have interoperable masonry, in whatever form it takes.
