SO TRUE!

[@re_allyedge]

Wrong. He is the css 😎

[@JustPlaytheTrack]

It never fails. I come to one of these videos for a specific technique, and end up deleting my entire style sheet.

[@philipdufour7233]

🤣🤣

[@GGdevelopment]

I still don't understand how you have less then 200K subs... You deserve more!

[@emkisn]

YESSS, i think the same. This channel is so rich in content

[@jradplowman]

Dido...

[@samueljun]

done.

[@layeekromah4799]

I think it's because most people overlook the role of CSS until they really need it.

[@Kevinproducciones2]

Now he has 267.000 in less than 4 months

[@DannyLevan1]

Just wanna say I really like your videos. I've worked in web for close to 10 years and have never properly learned CSS and your videos are just so well made and easy to understand.

[@jessiz-]

Super helpful - I love the way you teach and go through these concepts. It makes thinking about flexbox so much simpler. grid-ish seems really useful. Thanks Kevin!

[@rektosaurus6552]

im at the very beginning of my webdev journey and i gotta say your content and what you provide for us is priceless, I cant count the number of times I was struggling for hours then i come back to your videos and i find the solution , thank you so much !

[@alexweb9974]

Great work Kevin. Very well put together, straight to the point video. I also took you responsive design course which was great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@devsoldier4345]

I love your videos. Everytime I get stuck on something and I search youtube it's always one of your videos that get me back on track.

[@sirharis7462]

I’ve been winging it with flex for a while and spending countless hours debugging and guessing to make things work with flex but after this overview on the basics, I have a better understanding of flex and how to approach the styling. Nice video, great breakdown.

[@dregavero]

Kevin you are a amazing! 👏 thank you for explaining these css scenarios in easy to understand manners, it really helps a lot , because responsive design is such a vital part of web dev, but also such a hard one, especially for newer developers⭐

[@sirjohn2924]

This is what i wait for :) probably last year of the video and it makes me happy. Thanks Kevin. We hope that 2021 will be great for everyone. Kevin also I want to see more updated video about old topic with new trend like css position on cutting edge effect etc.

[@etch_kay]

Thanks a ton, lol I was taking ss from your video just to keep a cheat sheet and you offered it, you're probably the best teacher on KZbin... thanks a ton

[@mohan9285]

It was a brushing up video for me on Flexbox properties, Thank you Kevin :) I love to see more videos on CSS Animations...

[@jeffb6291]

Awesome stuff Kevin! Thank you very much. I am back on dev again after some days in pause mode . I will get back to your classes on CSS demystified tomorrow morning ! Happy new year to you and family !

[@ayushbali]

Kevin you're awesome, I used to fear CSS and everytime I tried making layouts I used to quit out of frustration, these videos of yours are great and I'm starting to understand things now. Thankyou!!

[@bryanperez3668]

Great! The content sidebar section is exactly what i need, in my job they are using float and width instead of flex-basis so that a field is more large than the next one. Thanks for that

[@xphstos_]

I don't know what it is but you're in my head!!! I was exploring some ways to reduce my media queries while I was working on a project I used this gridi-sh example. But Kevin, when I say you're in my head I mean it! This keeps happening for months now! I find something new and then BOOM here's a new video with you playing with the same stuff!

[@firedforfighting]

The CSS God....I spent hours yesterday trying to wrap my head around something like gridish...I sort of gave up but I was so close!!!...You really make CSS cool these vids are a lifesaver

[@dannyr2976]

I'm new to the channel but learned so much about the awesome power of Flexbox! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lawrencepsteele]

Perfect timing, I'm currently working on a project where I might be able to use the content-sidebar idea to streamline my classes a touch.

[@akshaymondal1372]

Before diving into web development I went through lots of articles in quora , most of the articles were related to css and all of them said that css is just bullshit , not possible for everyone to cope up with it . It created too much hype in our community that it actually crated fear in out hearts . But I didn't have any option, so I started with html css . And then I came across the great kevin powell. You don't know how much you have contributed in my life.

[@JimKernix]

Great video - love these settings. BTW, I took your free 21-day responsive layout course this Summer, and now building a responsive site is a piece of cake. I just got my site up and I need to fix some designs that I don't like but it looks good on a smartphone. I started out though NOT building via responsive first - that was a mistake. I ended up building my last 2 pages responsive first and it was easy - now I have to go back and clean up the mess I made from building desktop first...

[@abbassher201]

Its feel amazing everytime seeing your's video notification on youtube . Thanks alott Sir

[@felixjimenezgonzalez9292]

First of all, great video! Everytime I need to refresh flexbox you're the first person I come to!

[@daveskye]

For spacing margin works well and then you don't have browser compatibility problems. .parent { margin: -1rem} .child {margin: 1rem;} By adding a negative margin to the parent then you don't lose the width. This method works well when using flex wrap.

[@rezarahman1782]

It's really cool that how you manage to minimize the use of media query.Hat's off sir!😍

[@wolfenrico]

This is real magic! Thank you so much. Have a wonderful new year 2021!

[@parthparmar9798]

every time i get to your video i learns atleast one awesome trick to make my projects more effective. so thanks for that.

[@nikhiltyagi6619]

One of the best videos that you have made. Thank you so much man! You rock!

[@sumkitteh]

This is great, thank-you so much! I was actually in the process of going through a number of your (older?) videos seeking to extract precisely this information - I had very recently started using the flex-box patter you named "grid-ish" after seeing your description of it regarding the use of flexbox - there was no 'grid-ish' name, in that video, but from my experimentnig with it I recognized the patterns from the video icon image on this one, and this one answers a number of the guestions I had about how to constrain the flex box (e.g. column width's etc- so - thanks again - I am really enjoying your videos

[@waleedsharif618]

Now you seems to be my way to go if i need to check some css tricks, i hope you keep making these videos

[@shahbokhari]
