You got a class name wrong. In your CSS you target
.card-listinstead ofcards-list. I removed theflex-direction: columnjust for referencing and it looks to be working fine.html is [cards-list]
HTML
but css is [card-list]
CSS
A couple of problems.
One is a typo which would normally just get the question closed. In the HTML you have cards-list but in the CSS card-list.
The second is a misuse of column in flex-direction.
You want it to flex along the row [until it has to wrap]. This is the default direction but this snippet specifically sets
flex-direction: rowto make it clear.
