itty.bitty
Mark this down as one of the strangest things I’ve seen in a good long while. Nicholas Jitkoff has made a tool called itty.bitty that creates websites with all of the assets being contained within their own link. You can create a website without any HTML or CSS resources at all because it’s all been base64 encoded into the URL itself.
Take this crazy looking URL, for example:

display: grid;
grid-template-columns: min-content 1fr;

CSS Grid in IE: Faking an Auto-Placement Grid with Gaps
This is the third and final part in a three-part series about using CSS grid safely in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) without going insane.
In Part 1, I covered some of the common misconceptions that people have about IE11’s native CSS grid implementation. In Part 2, I showed the world how easy it actually is to write IE-friendly CSS grid code.
Today, I’m going step away from CSS grid for a moment to show you a flexbox technique …
