Simple question really. How does it look in browser which is a live environment rather than the built in Pinegrow broswer?

you will have difficulty doing this with Flex as Flex moves things in ONE DImension - that is… it only orders things in ONE LONG ROW - it has no idea, what comes next.

you could try flex box froggy, to give you some idea of how to position things in Flex box 🙂

> A game for learning CSS flexbox

and @itsmeleo has created a video where he provides all the solutions (including the last one -which was the only one I couldn’t figure out mysefl)

and it might be better to post this in JUST one area, @artimm as there are now two seperate threads for this.

maybe try using css grid, instead of flexbox  
as flexbox is really good at doing things in ONE PLANE - that is on one continues row.

it has NO AWARENESS of what comes next!  
on the next row.

whereas  
CSS Grid, knows the the whole page layout as it dictates the layout.

here is a free course on css grid

> **[CSS Grid](https://cssgrid.io)**
>
> Learn all about CSS Grid with Wes Bos in this free video series!

and this woman’s work is pretty good.  
she speaks quite slow (sometimes) so translation could be easier for you.

this explains using css grid to get white space

this is how to get css grid layout to be arty. and how to _fall back_ for older browsers

For a predictable outcome, you could try to use Bootstrap’s columns which is well implemented in pinegrow. Furthermore, have you tried to open [y8.com](http://y8.com) in Pinegrow using the “open url” feature? You could study it’s structure that way.
