I created a CSS Grid course on Udemy at https://www.udemy.com/css-grid-with-react/. My goal was to use it to build an Instagram web app clone. What I learned was that a lot of the features are really cool to play with but many lack practical use cases, its strong suit being its ability to go in both row and column directions. However despite trying I couldn't think of any use-case for configuring rows (going vertically). I found the grid-template-columns to be most useful, but the grid-area feels fairly gimmicky, as if you were building a quilt. Perhaps for a dashboard application. Overall, I just use flexbox now, even though CSS Grid has a cleaner API.
