Remove width scale? about pollen HOT 4 CLOSED

I agree that it's not as vital as the other elements but having a few widths for containers is really useful for consistency.

What do you think about just a few widths like this? https://www.gethalfmoon.com/docs/containers/. This may make more sense as an extension of --measure.

Interesting idea of making them responsive. That would be the only value in pollen that changes based on breakpoint so I’m hesitant to introduce complexity, but it’s a cool idea.

And yeah I think I’m leaning towards just removing a bunch of values so it’s at least much simpler.

This is what I'm thinking atm. Each step roughly correlates to a typical device breakpoint but not semantically tied to devices/breakpoints

/**
  * Container widths
  * Applied as max-width
  */
--width-xs: 480px;
--width-sm: 640px;
--width-md: 768px;
--width-lg: 1024px;
--width-xl: 1280px;

Closing this, not worth removing width scale, I think having a few device-derived container widths is useful enough to keep in core
