solved-by-flexbox

I took a look at cssnext while going through the source for the 'Solved by Flexbox' website which was front page last week (https://github.com/philipwalton/solved-by-flexbox/). It looks like it does a lot of what sass does, except that it will actually be CSS soon. I suppose it's kind of like using an ES7-to-ES5 transpiler rather than using some other compile-to-JS language; it's a matter of preference, but the ES7 will eventually run without dependencies as well when the transpile step is no longer needed. It'd be nice to see CSS frameworks rewritten using pure CSS (transpiled with cssnext); in fact I might give it a try if I get motivated :)

I rebuilt my personal site on Flexbox in December last year after making the call that it was widely supported enough [1]. There were a few hiccups: 1. Safari's requirement to use the webkit- prefix is a pain. Thankfully there are SASS libraries that work around that [2], but you aren't using Flexbox directly. 2. Google's pagespeed tools doesn't support it. It's an ancient version of Webkit -- your mobile score will suffer. If that matters to you, you'll have to do some hacking to ensure that it doesn't affect things on the mobile side. [1] for a personal site. [2] https://github.com/philipwalton/solved-by-flexbox
