The one thing that's prevented me from using flex-box is browser support.

Because flex-box has been re-implemented in JS, does this mean that the css-layout project [1] will provide flex-box support for older browsers?

I looked, but I couldn't find a "compatibility" section anywhere in the repo.

From what I can tell, it can support older browsers, since the CSS output is very primitive.

My current issue is how to measure text sizes: https://github.com/facebook/css-layout/blob/master/src/__tes...

He mentioned in the video how what they've implemented is a subset of css. Sounds like 'CSS the good parts' and may be renderable on older browsers.
