In this episode I explore a new proposal that aims to unify Flexbox and Grid through 'Item Flow' properties. I discuss the current debates around Masonry layouts, the potential for a more cohesive layout system, and the pros and cons of new properties like 'item-wrap' and 'item-slack.' I'll also touch on the importance of maintaining accessibility and logical tab orders.
