Hi! I wanted to share some of the early work with auto-layout. It’s still very early in development but I think you can be thrilled that this feature is finally being developed. ![Peek 2022-06-29 12-03](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/1X/b81c9d0d0a9560913999d68e9883a813587e9fa0.gif) ---

Very exciting! [I hope ya’ll take the recommendation to use W3C standard terminology](https://github.com/penpot/penpot/issues/2268#issuecomment-1248763815). I think this would go a long ways towards helping designers and devs communicate more clearly. ---

Sorry for not updating you in a long time. We have the auto-layout (now flex layout) almost ready. We’ve started internal testing and we need a little more polishing and some additional helpers before shipping it. Let me share some of the early testing by our designers. ![layout-racoon](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/7/72405dc2894417613c89c10e8499510cec0847ec.gif) ![listarrrl](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/b/b083776c586715956cec7feec619b991e7e2c903.gif) ---

I came across this article: [Conditional CSS - Ahmad Shadeed](https://ishadeed.com/article/conditional-css/) It really shows how Figma is lacking in terms of representing the functionality of CSS. ---

Had the chance to test out the flex layout feature. I must say it just blew my mind!! Intuitive and powerful. Can’t wait to use it once its ready for public launch!
