BALANCING FLEX ITEMS WITH FLEX-WRAP

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Flexbox layouts can sometimes result in orphan items when used with wrapping, which often prompts developers to rely on media queries to avoid this issue. A new CSS feature, `flex-wrap: balance`, helps create more visually appealing layouts by making sure items wrap evenly, alongside the introduction of `flex-line-count` to set a minimum number of lines for wrapped items.
