Kevin Powell | Use this instead of media queries or container queries @KevinPowell | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
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!
