Not controlable not consistent

[delizade]

Hi, This will be a general comment

1. Thank you for your efforts. Flex Box like design is a huge idea especially after play and see webflow.
2. Mostly design phrase is not controllable. Most of the time some weird behaviours prevent my designing and I can not move on.
3. There should be some little tricks as far as I see and we don't know what they are. We have to explore and invent those ways. I think there should be a detailed guideline.
4. After 4 hours and after 3 video tutorial, I can not achieve an e*commerce product list page with this tool. Especially nested groups and nested Stacks have issues that I could not understand.

This tool should help us to prevent loosing time as we designing a screen not just for breakpoints. Because screen adaptations are at the end of the designing process. After making a design we actually can make screen adaptations easier than designing.

if you make(actually DESIGN) a responsive grid with Auto Layout, after that phase with one shot you can prepare other screens, okay nice. But if you need to change grid design you have to prepare screens again. However changing design of a responsive grid with Auto Layout is not easy and not consistent.

For example please try to make a complex list. In this example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiCXg17CwIY&t=1225s) grid structure actually is not fully flexed. if you see sketch file there are some tricks in design and layer structure but I could not solved exactly and why I have to do that?

for example @24:20, he is tried to change text. After that right column image is shifted. You have to deal with that problem to use flexed grid properly. If you can not solve that, there is no need to use this because it takes time(much time than hoped)and the result is not consistent.

I have to make a file to demonstrate that actually I should make a video but currently there is no time for that.

thank you again for this grate tool at least thank you for serving a huge idea to softwares that we use.

I'm experiencing much of the same. Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate the efforts put into the development of Auto-Layout but unfortunately I'm running into too many scenarios where it doesn't work as expected and bugs occur like groups disappearing, moving or scaling down to 1pt.

It seems most issues I'm experiencing are when I try to use Pins and Stacks together. I'm gonna try working with either one or the other and then manually adjust design as needed. There's still plenty of time saving here.

Thank you guys for all your effort!
