Use this instead of media queries or container queries
Channel: Kevin Powell
Date: 2024-02-06

Media queries are a bit limited in how they work, and while container queries go a really long way in solving a lot of those limitations, there are intrinsic patterns that we can follow that allow us to do things that neither one of them can do.

The setup is a bit strange and can look complex, but, in my opinion, it's also 100% worth it!
