What makes a Flex pattern generator useful
The goal is not visual noise. It is controlled variation with clean output.
The pattern usually starts with `display: flex`, `flex-wrap` and a consistent minimum size strategy.
If you vary `flex-grow` or `flex-basis` by index, you can introduce rhythm and hierarchy with surprisingly little CSS.
A good generator should still export stable, legible rules that make sense inside real components.
- Essential controls: direction, wrap, gap, basis and growth ratio.
- Useful pattern families: balanced blocks, highlighted blocks and tag ribbons.
- Keep a minimum size so the pattern does not collapse on smaller screens.
