Hey Product Hunt! If you've ever tried to build anything with CSS, you know how annoying it can be to get even the basics right. There have been entire blog posts written on something as simple as centering an element vertically, and entire books written on how to write code to get basic layouts to work. Thankfully, the people who define web standards have come up with something to solve most of our CSS problems — it's called CSS Flexbox, and it has nearly universal support across all modern browsers. However, it's so complicated that even most seasoned developers have to have a cheatsheet open to look up the right code syntax for specific layout settings. Well, we thought this was a terrible way for creative people to utilize the power of flexbox, so we created a totally visual flexbox UI and built it into Webflow. Our approach looks and feels a lot more like Photoshop/Illustrator/Sketch-inspired alignment and distribution buttons than a long list code properties that you have to remember. Also, we created this game to help you visually learn the concepts used by flexbox: https://www.flexboxgame.com/ — I bet you can't pass level 28 :P We'd love to hear your feedback on both the product and the game, and we'll be hanging out here all day. Cheers, Vlad

The Webflow team is one of the best product team in the game right now. They remind me the Invision team in a way. Now that they're releasing this, I'm late. I have to build something using their CMS solution AND this Flexbox thing 🤘🏼 Congrats folks!

Seriously a massive fan of Webflow, it just keeps getting better and better and their tutorials are awesome! :-) Happy customer right here!

As always! You guys rock! Thanks for continuing to innovate and provide amazing solutions!

Slick Vlad! Integrating the game as a way of introducing the product before sign-up is a subtle touch I can appreciate! It's an on-boarding strategy I expect to catch on.

I am fond of Webflow products, mainly because I dont have to feel shit about not knowing how to code at any meaningful level (e.g. none)

Awesome onboarding concept, congrats!

And to think, just 2 weeks ago I was at An Event Apart conference where they said that learning how to use flexbox over the next YEAR would make you a certifiable web wizard genius...

I like the @producthunt button in the menu. 🙂

very usefull thanks for create this! upvote :)

Fantastic product Vlad. Now we don't have to dread using something like Wordpress! 🙌🏼

I'm pretty damn floored with the unbelievable progress of Webflow. Keep up the great work fellas!

I commented on that project Matt is going curating content for us using Webflow for the entire project. You guys have no problem utilizing this tool to make some seriously compelling content. That Flexbox Game was so cool. You folks at Webflow are truly taking Web design and development to exactly where it should be in this day and age. This is how you make web content, folks. Not code editing, learning tons of languages. Finally someone took on the challenge and is doing the best job at it to date. Can't wait to see what you Voodoo Shaman come up with next.

Love it! Using a game for the on boarding is a brilliant idea, and works incredibly well for a product like Flexbox. What I was missing, was some help in case you couldn't complete a task. Will definitely play a little more around with it. Keep up the great work!

Hi Vlad, I kind of have difficulties to understand what is the promise of Webflow i.e. what it does exactly. I am wondering whether I should or not spend time learning it. I have 2 simple questions: 1/ If my inputs are designs skills, what can the "Webflow factory" help me deliver as outputs? 2/ Why would my clients be happier with the Webflow outputs? Many thanks. Antoine

Seems really powerful and easy to use. I like the idea of having a game to help people learn the concepts. It would be nice if the game had feedback or a suggested solution (Flex Layout alignment vs the boxes under Position), and also a hint if someone gets stuck. Still great though!

I really love it, congrats and thanks a lot

Been using webflow for a year now and this morning I got extra excited to see that we finally can use flexbox with it.
