Yes, for sure. Your explanation of how flex-basis, flex-shrink, flex-grow and calculations underneath it is probably the best in the web, so im adding it to favorites for everyone who wants to understand it.

Flex frogs are more for a beginners (backend devs) who want to just place items around in not-so-terrible manner.

Flexbox Core Concepts

I would have thought you would have posted all the tidbits here instead of linking them offsite. Github use's markdown, so wouldn't it be effortless to copy and paste it here?

Actually, that was my initial plan! but then all the images had to be manually uploaded one at a time...so i just gave up 😣 I put in a lot of effort into the github read me to make sure it's easy to navigate and follow, which should improve the reading experience. Hope you don't mind too much on the extra click and check out the github post 🙂
