What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Captions now carry a destination and a trip length, which turns the wall from a pattern demo into a browsable product surface without adding a single layout rule.
  • Photography exposes what gradients hid: the 2×3 portrait frame needs a portrait source, and the panoramic frames need wide ones. Span sequence and art direction are the same decision.
  • Product upgrade: ten gradient tiles became ten real destinations with a brand header; the mobile breakpoint halves the column count rather than clamping spans with a variable.

Here's a working CSS demo from CodeFronts. Use it as-is or adapt to your framework. All classes are scoped under a unique prefix so the code won't collide with your existing styles. MIT licensed.

How this works

The interlock is arithmetic. Ten frames form one repeat unit; append another ten in the same sequence and the wall extends seamlessly.

Deliberately not dense. Demo 24 backfills holes by reordering; here the order is the curation, so the spans are designed instead.

Make it yours

  • Re-compose by editing the sequence — keep each visual row summing to 6.
  • Finer control on large walls: 8 or 12 columns.
  • One oversized statement frame per repeat gives the wall a focal point.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • A sequence that does not sum to the column count leaves holes; fix the arithmetic rather than reaching for dense.
  • Tall spans need portrait sources — landscape crops badly in them.
  • Keep the gap modest (8–12px): a mosaic reads as one composition, wide gutters shatter it into cards.
