Do we have a release date for the flexbox?
There is no official release date yet, as it is still in development. However, according to Adam, it will be released in April 2022. Fingers crossed!??
You can subscribe to their newsletter to be notified about the launch of Spectra.
Why are there all these videos telling us that the flexbox already comes with the plugin? Why are there “containers” in the videos but not in the plugin itself? Is that future 2.0 release made up, too? Is Spectra a fictional story? It makes about as much sense as Q Drops.
Hi T Dawg,
I have just received a reply from the Spectra team. You can find the Flexbox containers in Spectra 2.0 Beta 3.
They are about to release Spectra 2.0, but the final date has not yet been set.
Best,
Stefan
