Notes / Transcript (condensed)

ClampGenerator helps you produce fluid CSS using clamp(min, preferred, max) so designs scale smoothly across breakpoints. Choose a token (e.g., body text), set viewport anchors (min/max widths), and let the tool compute stable values. For teams, standardize tokens so type and spacing scale consistently. Since the output is just CSS, it works everywhere—Astro, Next.js, vanilla CSS, or design systems. Use the Font-size & Typescale tool for typography and the Layout Clamp tool for spacing and sizes.
