@arsors You are right, it's related to the gap. That is a bit of a shortcoming of this idea. You can solve it by adding the following after the initial code:
@media (max-width: 400px) {
.grid {
grid-gap: 20px;
gap: 20px;
}
}
This makes the gap somewhat smaller on devices below 400px.
@wiegertschouten Thank you for the answer. It seems to be a general problem with grids and gaps. I have already solved it like your idea. Alternatively you could use: gap: min($gap, 5%);
, but this results in a strange spacing.
Edit: After a bit of testing i found out that gap: clamp(15px, 2vw, $gap);
is working pretty ok (not perfect).

Very simple and good idea. But unfortunately at a browser width below 337px (Smallest iPhone: 320px) the window becomes scrollable, because the content does not shrink. It is related to the gap. Unfortunately I still have too little knowledge to fix this grid problem. @wiegertschouten do you have an idea or someone else?
