Flexbox allows us as CSS developers a new and very useful control method over layouts which was previously difficult to achieve, it allows us to create grids which are flexible in nature meaning that they are aware of content within them so will stretch to accommodate the content. This allows us to focus more on the creation process instead of having to worry about employing hacks such as floats to achieve the same result.
As of today, most modern browsers now support the Flexbox spec so its safe to go ahead and start using it within your projects.

We have listed some CSS grid systems which make use of Flexbox, some online tools and apps which will help you create your grid and also some complete CSS frameworks which incorporate Flexbox.
