Talks
Filling the gap: a deep dive into CSS gap decoration by Patrick Brosset
In this talk, we’ll explore the power of CSS gap decoration, a groundbreaking proposal that introduces the ability to add decorative lines between layout elements. We’ll discuss how this new feature extends gap decoration, which is currently limited to multi-column layouts, to other layout containers like grids, flexboxes, and masonry. Through interactive examples, live coding demos, and real-world case studies, we’ll demonstrate how gap decoration can streamline design workflows and bring flexibility to CSS layout systems.
