Quick answers for this chapter

Stack or grid?

Use stacks for rows and columns of items in sequence, like a hero or a navbar. Use grids for repeated cards in columns.

Do breakpoint changes affect desktop?

Changes on the primary (desktop) breakpoint flow down to others. Changes on tablet or phone only affect that breakpoint.

Why use components?

Change one component and every instance updates. It keeps the design consistent and saves time.
