Is this going to be developed?

[eytanbiala]

I haven't really seen any activity, is this still being developed?

[gustavohenke]

I don't think so, latest commit is in branch develop, 6 months ago.
Also looking for answers...

I couldn't wait so added the old syntax to my less mixins which then works with flexie. Bit of a hacky way to do it but that seems like the only way to work at the moment. Stupid old browsers

[doctyper]

There's a huge amount of work that's been poured into reflexie, but there is a long way to go before it reaches even an alpha stage. I put out a call for help a few months ago that garnered very little traction. I'm not sure there's enough demand for me to continue development.

So no real answer a while ago, but now the flexbox spec is pretty concrete. Anything gonna be developed here?

[ShaneHudson]

Could this perhaps be kickstarted?

[javangriff]

I second the kickstarter idea if possibly. I would definitely back it to see it developed.

[urish]

+1 for kickstarter

[shaekuronen]

@doctyper you should push all your work so far so others can fork it and finish.

[doctyper]

@ilanbiala Everything I've done is available in this repository.

Also, guys, there is simply not enough demand to polyfill this feature into older browsers. Flexbox came at about the same time browsers went "evergreen", and a lot of developers are using it as a sort of dividing line for evergreen browsers.

Polyfilling flexbox is an expensive task. It takes a lot of computation to implement on the client-side, and keep in mind we are asking years-old browsers to do this before rendering a layout.

There might be some confusion around the master branch only showing the initial commit, and no readme.

What about changing the repository's default branch to develop?

[stuartpb]

Since Autoprefixer converts the new flexbox syntax to the old flexbox syntax, couldn't old Flexie just be tweaked to read one of the vendor-prefixed flexbox rules as a polyfill for the new flexbox syntax that way?

[mackelito]

Sounds like a interesting idea... would it be possible?

[mackelito]

@shipleyr could you be more specific in how you went about doing this?

[shipleyr]

@mackelito I've created a gist with the flexbox.less file I use in it and an example of a less file that uses it. Just then get something like Prepros to compile the less file in to CSS and hey presto... works in old and new browsers. Please not that I am not actively supporting this... I just use it and it works for me. https://gist.github.com/shipleyr/ae9745198dedc6275d36
