lost-grid compatibility

[janwirth]

@lost gutter 60px can not be used with vr-block. Makes sense in next version.

[corysimmons]

You mean accepting vr-block as a value for gutter? Like @lost gutter vr-block; ?

[janwirth]

exactly

[corysimmons]

Will consider it with my new grid and when I'm converting this to PostCSS. I see your point though 👍

[corysimmons]

I can't remember, is vr-block a function that returns a value?

If so, could you do something like $sass-var: vr-block(); @lost gutter $sass-var;?

[janwirth]

Yes. vr-block(2) for example.
I only remember using lost with typographic and stylus where I could not interpolate the variable into the postcss control string if I recall this correctly.

[corysimmons]

Hmm. Yeah Stylus isn't particularly great at interpolating...

Still though, I'd imagine if you did something like:

$my-var = vr-block(2)

@lost gutter $my-var

And parsed over it with https://github.com/seaneking/poststylus it would work?

[corysimmons]

Tbh, I'm not sure how to do this otherwise. at-rule settings typically just accept a value. There's no real way to control it on the PostCSS side.

[janwirth]

Just mentioning this. Should be no problem in the coming version. Did you create a repo yet?

[corysimmons]

No, haven't started porting this over yet. Should launch around mid March.

bump

[corysimmons]

Yeah, I've figured out some really nice vertical rhythm stuff, and even some really nice scaling stuff between headings.

I'm in the process of debating with myself about what I feel about modular scale.... Not particularly sold on it right this second. What do you think about it?

Once I come to a conclusion on that I can start combining all these parts (shouldn't take too long).

[janwirth]

It would be much easier for me to articulate my feelings if I knew about the nice stuffs you found! MS seemed solid to me but I don't know about any alternatives. Can you update me?

Note how the headings size in the first pen is related to the $min/max-heading-size settings with steps generated in between.

I dunno... I guess I could do that step thing with modular scale. :\

Maybe it's vertical rhythm I don't like... There's no way to do it correctly. Good looking vertical rhythm seems like a myth that I need to stop screwing around with.

[janwirth]

I can not really wrap my head around it right now. I sent you a doc via E-Mail that may help though.
