Make Lost-Offset work more intuitively (reverse of current +/- behavior)

[hudochenkov]

In every grid systems offset always applied to the left side of the block, but in Lost it's applied to the right. Luckily we can apply offset to usual side by negative value, but it's counterintuitive.

What is the reason for this behaviour?

I've thought the same thing...I wonder if it has to do with the actual math that's going on.

[hudochenkov]

Whatever math is, there is no problem to * -1 in code :)

[peterramsing]

I agree. I thought about whether or not I might fix this a while back but then our old code would need some rework. I'd be curious to know why, like yourself, if there is something I'm missing.

Hi,

I'm playing with Lost grid on Codepen. Struggled with this too.

My first attempt, with expected behaviors similar to other grid systems, Bootstrap, Materialize, Bourbon/Neat, I tried to offset to "push it" to the right, with a positive value of the number of columns I needed. For example, from Materialize

And got nothing. Found this issue and tried negative, and got what I wanted.
Created a simple Codepen

The Offsetting Elements section in Readme could use a clearer update. Will try to submit a PR.

Might be worth an API change on next major update.

Yeah, sorry guys, this was actually a mistake that slipped in somewhere, or maybe I've just always thought of it backwards.

You guys all seem to agree that this is screwy so I definitely give the 👍 to convert this in 7 (super easy change).

Great, thanks @corysimmons!

[peterramsing]

Thanks for clarifying @corysimmons. I was curious about this myself. I'll update as an actionable issue.
