This sounds great, I’m looking forward to access.

One question from a business standpoint: is the effort based on a market segment or problem that has been validated as worth worth addressing?

Grid systems give you the ability to express things in terms of, well, grids - the components of the grid would not overlap. I didn't see anything in Bootstrap or Foundation that would help me position overlapping elements effectively, e.g. a stack of playing cards with each card offset vertically from the previous one.

Why is it still hard to express layouts in HTML?

from the self-post dept.

CSS still seems to be pretty painful at expressing layouts, such as the main object for the page centred vertically and overlapping other elements to the left / right of it. There are many articles about them, but they all seem to explain to you how to do this painful thing, rather than explaining how its done elegantly.It makes me curious about whether we should even expect to wish such things...
