Long thought impossible, Heydon Pickering has found a way to replicate the idea of container queries using a cool CSS trick / hack using a clever combination of flex-wrap, flex-basis, and flex-grow. It's a really powerful trick.
We'll still need media queries for stuff, but this could prove to be really, really handy!
