Explainer
https://github.com/bfgeek/flex-wrap-balance


Specification
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox-2


Summary
flex-wrap:balance allows developers to distribute content between flex-lines so 
that it appears more balanced (similar to text-wrap:balance).


Blink component
Blink>Layout>Flexbox


Web Feature ID
No information provided


Motivation
Without balancing it is trivial to create flex-lines which appear "unablanced" 
(lots of whitespace in a particular line). This often makes developers avoid 
wrapping flexboxes, instead allowing content to overflow. See explainer.


Initial public proposal
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3070


TAG review

Goals for experimentation
None


Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility
Interoperability risk: Other browsers do not implement.

Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1405)

WebKit: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/660)

Web developers: Positive (https://bsky.app/profile/una.im/post/3lpcjcjn4w22r)

Other signals:


Activation
Unlike other CSS features, this may be adopted incrementally by web-developers 
as it "gracefully degrades" if not supported. We saw this previously with 
`text-wrap:balance` for example.


Security
None.


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
No information provided



Debuggability
Small CSS addition.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
