Balancing flex items with flex-wrap: balance

This article addresses the common flexbox issue where wrapped items leave an orphaned item on a new line. It introduces the new CSS property flex-wrap: balance (available in Chrome 150) that automatically balances wrapped lines. For broader browser support, the author demonstrates a container queries-based solution using CSS variables and max-width calculations to control the number of items per row. The article includes practical examples, code snippets, and a real-world case study from Buffer.com's social connect section, making it a valuable resource for web developers seeking robust flexbox layout techniques.
