Flexbox layout not being responsive

I am trying to make this responsive and have both of them scale down when I change the screen size. However the alignment doesn't work properly and I don't know what the problem is.

#noteUIContainer {
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0px;
  top: 55px;
  width: 100%
}
#noteList {
  width: 175px;
  flex: 1;
  /* The below change allows you to scroll the note preview */
  overflow-y: auto;
  background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);
  border-right: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#note {
  flex: 3;
  padding-left: 20px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#header {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  padding: 18px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
.notePreview {
  height: 70px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  line-height: 90%;
  border-top: 15px rgb(209, 209, 209) solid;
}
.notePreview h3 {
  font-size: 12pt;
  line-height: inherit;
  font-weight: 400;
}
.notePreviewText {
  font-size: 9pt;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  padding-bottom: 26px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
}
#dateModified {
  color: rgb(128, 128, 128);
  font-size: 10pt;
  padding-top: 20px;
}
body {
  margin: auto;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
/*

#note h3 {

You should set flex-wrap to the main container and then min-width instead width to the first-col:

#noteUIContainer {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}
#noteList {
  min-width: 175px;
  flex: 1;
  overflow-y: auto;
  background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);
  border-right: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#note {
  flex: 3;
  padding-left: 20px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#header {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  padding: 18px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
.notePreview {
  height: 70px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  line-height: 90%;
  border-top: 15px rgb(209, 209, 209) solid;
}
.notePreview h3 {
  font-size: 12pt;
  line-height: inherit;
  font-weight: 400;
}
.notePreviewText {
  font-size: 9pt;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  padding-bottom: 26px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
}
#dateModified {
  color: rgb(128, 128, 128);
  font-size: 10pt;
  padding-top: 20px;
}
body {
  margin: auto;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
/*
    Add any relevant styles below here.
    */

#note h3 {
  font-weight: bold;
  padding-top: 20px;

    </p>
    <textarea rows="15" cols="75">

  </div>
</div>

if you want the notelist last when wrapping in 1 col, you may use: flex-direction and order

#noteUIContainer {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
#noteList {
  min-width: 175px;
  flex: 1;
  overflow-y: auto;
  background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);
  border-right: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#note {
  order: -1;
  flex: 3;
  padding-left: 20px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
#header {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  padding: 18px;
  /* Make changes below this line */
}
.notePreview {
  height: 70px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
  line-height: 90%;
  border-top: 15px rgb(209, 209, 209) solid;
}
.notePreview h3 {
  font-size: 12pt;
  line-height: inherit;
  font-weight: 400;
}
.notePreviewText {
  font-size: 9pt;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  padding-bottom: 26px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;
}
#dateModified {
  color: rgb(128, 128, 128);
  font-size: 10pt;
  padding-top: 20px;
}
body {
  margin: auto;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
/*
    Add any relevant styles below here.
    */

#note h3 {
  font-weight: bold;
  padding-top: 20px;
  border-bottom: 1px rgb(30, 30, 30) solid;

    </p>
    <textarea rows="15" cols="75">
    </textarea>
  </div>
</div>

You can show then run both snippets in full page and resize your browser to see it jumping from one col to 2.

p.s. i removed the absolute positionning, did not see the purpose here :), but will work if you put it back
