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.

These things are worth knowing but for all but the simplest layouts, I still use an interactive design tool to generate the layout.

I'm not making excuses for my ignorance —I use grid daily— it's just easier to visualise and label, well, visually.

There are many online grid generators, but I use https://grid.layoutit.com/

Grid Layout Generator

I used the website https://grid.layoutit.com to generate the grid. Here is a link to my grid in there: https://grid.layoutit.com/?id=LFdpqT3

Since you are using figma you can try to export project as a HTML/CSS. This can be a first approach. On other hand, try to use grid generator e.g https://grid.layoutit.com/ or https://cssgrid-generator.netlify.app/

i would actually suggest just creating a CSS grid - i find it easier than trying to position everything perfectly. you can find easy grid makers by looking up "css grid generator", i use this one a lot: https://grid.layoutit.com/
