Me too! I remember looking at that page endlessly in around 2014 when my then boss decided that flexbox was in wide enough use that we could use it. The diagrams made it extra useful.

I'm still opening this up whenever I have to do anything with flex.

CSS Tricks was mostly defined by Chris. When he sold it off to Digital Ocean and left, there was a noticeable change in quality. I'm surprised they didn't either shelve it soon after or turn it into a pure marketing vehicle.

> "A Complete Guide to Flexbox" is probably my most referenced article. I'll just put it out there that web.dev is becoming a more and more awesome resource to learn web technologies. Their page on flexbox is very detailed: https://web.dev/learn/css/flexbox/ https://web.dev/learn/css/flexbox/

  But that site is owned by Google :(

    And MDN is owned by Mozilla :-) Between the two of them, I think we've got ourselves covered.
    - codetrotter 4y ago
      Yes MDN is excellent

      It’s more than web.dev simply being owned by Google, at times the site feels like content marketing for Chrome and not just a resource to learn about web development. I’ve seen them post multiple articles about the latest Chrome-only updates, while I’ve never seen MDN promote content that only focuses on Firefox. Not to say MDN has never done that, but at least to me, web.dev has a definite Chrome bent that you wouldn’t expect from the way the site initially presents itself.

One of my go-to links has always been “When to use target="_blank"” https://css-tricks.com/use-target_blank/ https://css-tricks.com/use-target_blank/ I'd recently gotten a feed reader set up and CSS-Tricks was one of the first things added as I trust the writers and insights over the years.

  The advice about adding a `rel` attr is outdated, modern browsers will do this by default with `_blank` https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4078 https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4078
