3,220 PointsWhat Grid System does Treehouse Use themselves? ( Flexbox etc.. )
I was wondering what the actual treehouse website uses for responsive design ?

That seems to be gone now, which makes me think it might be custom.

3,220 PointsI am new so I am trying to understand, How can a layout be "custom" ? Their has to be a name for it since they did not invent new tech, so their has to be a common name, right ?
.... Also has a 2nd question - what do you use?

28,149 PointsOps, sorry - I read it as which framework, like boostrap, unsemantic, foundation, etc. That's what I meant as custom to Treehouse.
Other then that, just looking at the developer tools in the browser, it looks like it's a simple floated layout, I didn't seen any flexbox or grids.
This may or may not be what they're using, but they have it public on their github: https://github.com/treehouse/project-leap

28,149 PointsAnd to answer the second question, I use a lot of flexbox now, some grid when I need that specialized control, but I still also use a lot of floated positioning as well, whatever the minimum is to get the job done.
