• Different ways flexbox works:

flex-start (default): items are packed toward the start of the flex-direction. flex-end: items are packed toward the end of the flex-direction. start: items are packed toward the start of the writing-mode direction. end: items are packed toward the end of the writing-mode direction. left: items are packed toward left edge of the container, unless that doesn't make sense with the flex-direction, then it behaves like start. right: items are packed toward right edge of the container, unless that doesn't make sense with the flex-direction, then it behaves like start. center: items are centered along the line space-between: items are evenly distributed in the line; first item is on the start line, last item on the end line space-around: items are evenly distributed in the line with equal space around them. Note that visually the spaces aren't equal, since all the items have equal space on both sides. The first item will have one unit of space against the container edge, but two units of space between the next item because that next item has its own spacing that applies. space-evenly: items are distributed so that the spacing between any two items (and the space to the edges) is equal.

• Flexbox terminology:

main axis - The main axis of a flex container is the primary axis along which flex items are laid out. Beware, it is not necessarily horizontal; it depends on the flex-direction property (see below). main-start | main-end - The flex items are placed within the container starting from main-start and going to main-end. main size - A flex item's width or height, whichever is in the main dimension, is the item's main size. The flex item's main size property is either the ‘width’ or ‘height’ property, whichever is in the main dimension. cross axis - The axis perpendicular to the main axis is called the cross axis. Its direction depends on the main axis direction. cross-start | cross-end - Flex lines are filled with items and placed into the container starting on the cross-start side of the flex container and going toward the cross-end side. cross size - The width or height of a flex item, whichever is in the cross dimension, is the item's cross size. The cross size property is whichever of ‘width’ or ‘height’ that is in the cross dimension.
