CSS Tutorial – CSS Grid Layout with @support flexbox fallback

Rengga Dev – Gustaf Holm made these CSS tooltips that slide down in a smoothly animated fashion. Throughout the design, the same element of bottom tooltips is maintained, which results in a uniform appearance. CSS grid layout with gradient flex boxes is the standard.
