Flexbox-like “just put elements in a row” with CSS grid

21.5.2020
It occurred to me while we were talking about flexbox and gap that one reason we sometimes reach for flexbox is to chuck some boxes in a row and space them out a little. My brain still reaches for flexbox in that situation, and with gap, it probably will continue to do so. It’s worth noting...
