A nice new update for Source has just been pushed out. You can see the release notes here.
Headline feature is a brand new stack: Grid Plus Pro! The heart of it is the same as Grid Plus but it is far more scalable (unlimited breakpoints) and offers a host of advanced options. This brings the Source Grid collection to 3 and, as such, I think that calls for a comparison table.
I’ve also put a new Grid Plus web page together to better showcase the kind of things that you can do with the stack. A very small demo project is available on the Knowledge Base page (more will follow!).
This update is free for all Source Addon owners and of course this new grid stack is also available to be used in any framework via the Source Grid Enabler stack!
Enjoy!!
p.s. Like with the latest Splider release, this version also adds in support for using the Source Grid stacks as layout options for Poster 2!
Have managed to put a couple of videos together now so hopefully these give you a good idea what Grid Plus Pro is all about. I recommend watching in this order:
Complex grids like this would definitely need some thinking about beforehand. You’d could quite easily end up in a mess otherwise.
Grid Plus can also do far simpler grids (where you are not explicitly positioning items) and these require a lot less thinking about.
Nothing special. The design for that header section was pretty much lifted directly from an existing web page I saw. I just screen grabbed the full page and in a graphics program (I used Sketch) I drew out on top where I would need to create columns and rows.
Have just updated the Grid Plus Pro demo project to include a new ‘real-life’ type example. It should be a useful tool for learning a bit more about how it all works.
