Ok last but not least, Codesandbox. This is a newcomer to online collaborative workspaces which seems much more advanced. Codesandbox.io allows you to create node/npm projects, install packages, setup webpack or bundlers, include frameworks like React or Vue, and code in Typescript or JavaScript. It looks and acts like an IDE (VSCode) in the cloud, allowing shareable projects, not just code snippets.

Sync your projects effortlessly with GitHub. Codesandbox

Use online code editors such as Codesandbox or Stackblitz. They let you focus on writing code rather than dealing with local environment complexities.

For this article, I will be using an online code editor called Codesandbox. You can go ahead and use it as well, you can also create normal React js application on your computer.

Flexbox Froggy

This started improving for me recently when I spent more time really learning flexbox and flexgrid. They are part of CSS so no installs needed. It’s a different way of thinking but I’m finally good enough with flexbox that I can tell when I need it and make productive use of it. Knowing these patterns makes a difference for me, since now I can assemble the blocks better than before when I’d just try mostly random css without any guiding principles.

Flexbox froggy helped a lot with some practical experience that translated fairly well to my regular work.

There are other games like this that I haven’t gotten to yet, including one for flexgrid. Once I clear all the levels in flexbox froggy I’m going to try the flexgrid game.

Then after that I’m going to spend time with bootstrap and tailwind since the last time I really used them was back in my more junior days when I barely knew anything at all about css.

Flexbox Froggy is an excellent resource for interactive learning.
