Multiple proposals for masonry-style layouts in CSS have emerged, including extensions to CSS Grid and a standalone module. The latest, Apple WebKit's 'Item Flow', aims to merge the strengths of both earlier proposals. Although CSS Grid offers an experimental masonry value for grid-template-rows, browser support remains limited, leaving developers to rely on hacks or JavaScript libraries for effective layouts. Despite the exciting potential of native CSS masonry, critics highlight current limitations and call for further refinement before it can serve as a robust solution for irregular layouts.
The dueling proposals for CSS masonry layouts showcase the ongoing debate between enhancing existing CSS Grid specifications and introducing masonry as a new module.
CSS Gridâs experimental masonry value offers an alternative for modular layouts but faces significant challenges due to limited browser support and its unfinished state.
