Flexbox is a versatile tool for creating responsive and flexible layouts. In this write-up, I'll walk you through how to build a simple yet dynamic Flexbox-based design that arranges text elements in a grid. These are lessons I've learned from Wes Bos' free Flexbox course, and this article is my way of recalling and internalizing the lesson.

Creating a Dynamic Text Grid with Flexbox

In this example, I’ve used Flexbox to create a visually appealing layout that arranges various text blocks. The content includes phrases that vary in size, with some elements standing out more than others through different font sizes.

By applying display: flex and using properties like flex-wrap, the text blocks wrap around neatly even when the screen size changes, demonstrating how Flexbox can easily handle responsive layouts. Additionally, the flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis properties ensure that each text element adapts to the available space, giving the design a balanced look regardless of the screen width.
