   New task on my list, after days of trying to make a CSS Grid-based layout that didn't use any media queries at all to be responsive:

     @harris @spencer It’s a crude tool with static layout breaking point, it isn’t as elegant as having a one-code-fits-all page.

     @spencer What appeals to you about not using media queries?

     I really love the idea of a layout that doesn't need media queries, but until I'm a much more skilled code golfer, the choice for me isn't between "website with media queries" and "website without", it's between "having a website anytime soon" and "not".

     @harris There's something in the minimalism I appreciate: a couple lines of CSS that flexibly adapt to the space given (given certain rules) instead of being told where to break. That just seems elegant to me, for whatever reason.
     
     It's probably a reflection of my hobbyist status that I like to tinker with elegance instead of just using what I know would work. ?

     I got something that resembled my ideal in about 5 minutes after adding a media query. ?
     
     Maybe one day I'll be clever enough to do it without! But for now, functional.
