i'm very close but flex grow is not working.

i have put luxury text and line and year in one container and gave display flex and the outer container gave display flex and direction column but seems like there's an problem causing flex grow to not work on line and even tho i gave space between to first container still it stays together. codepen : https://codepen.io/kev00690/pen/zYgpNVV

I mean you can look at what I did, its less lines to declare than flex even.. (if thats a thing you care about) I get overly triggered by flex- column... Like you should probably just be using Block elements or Grid at that point #itAlwaysDepends but most often I see people using it poorly and find its a bad habit most "flex only" people do Understand that Flex wants to make all children "dense" by default, that is why you see people readding 100% width/height to the children. I'm not saying grow/shrink/basis are not powerful just people seem to ignore that grid most the times does what they need.

i found it the issue was align items baseline to parent which was progress container i removed it and now everthing is woeking properly i do i mean who won't less lines = more better understanding

because when you swap axis (flex col) align becomes justify vise versa. šŸ™‚ another reason I don't like using flex col for no reason just complicates the logic
