- yoav_sbg 2y agoI also know flexboxfroggy but as I like to "play" and less read/write I didn't find this website useful. Hope you will find it useful. If something is missing, please let me know :)
- aimazon 2y agoAfter years of working with Flexbox, I have realized Flexbox is like plugging in a USB-A: justify and align are always the wrong way around on first try.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoBut, like USB-A, are they also frequently the wrong way round the second time too?
- lenkite 2y agoMan, why is it so hard to keep in memory ? Can keep a whole bunch of stuff in memory - including CSS float layout for years, but flexbox hits that strange place where if one doesn't use it for a couple of months, one tends to forget 80% of it and needs to re-read from scratch and spend time on the playground again. The problem is that too many property names are just non-intuitive or plain wrong. They might as well have given them one or two letter symbolic names.
