Hi Can somebody lay me out the reasoning behind naming 3 Flexbox properties justify-content, align-items and align-content? I can't grasp the logic behind using terms items and content in the names the way they're used now. It seems to me that align-items is complementary to justify-content, as both of them act on flex items - the first aligns the items along the cross axis and the second along the main axis. align-content on the contrary act on the whole lines of flex items. I can't see any connection between justify-content and align-content, though their names would suggest there is some. And so it seems more logical for me if justify-content would be renamed to justify-items. I bet Flexbox module creators had some logic behind naming the things in the current manner. Probably I'm only not able to recognize it. Can somebody explain that to me? Robert
