Have you heard of CSS Subgrid? 🤔
A grid item can now pass its parent's grid lines to children, so nested elements align perfectly with the outer layout.
No more hacky workarounds for aligned nested grids.

From 2-min dev server starts to 2s ⚡
We rewrote MDN's entire frontend, ditching the React SPA for Lit web components, server components, and Rspack. The result: less JS shipped, scoped CSS, and a build pipeline that just works.
Read how we did it 👇

&:hover { color: blue; }
.title { font-weight: bold; }
}
No preprocessor needed.
