CSS wish: inner breakpoints

Read Original

This article explores a conceptual CSS feature called 'inner breakpoints', which would allow responsive layouts based on the sizes of individual HTML elements, not just viewports or containers. It compares this idea to existing media queries and container queries, and provides a practical example of a responsive sidebar layout using grid and container queries to illustrate the potential use case.
