do i vertical-align, justify-content, align-item, HOLY GOD!!! I sometimes end up doing everything and pray it works! hahaha.

I took a course on flex box. Feel free to pair up with me on a video call and I can run you through it.

For centring things check out CSS -Tricks. They've also got a good resource for Flexbox; so I guess their Grid guide will be good too :)

Oh yes! CSS-Tricks has been my bible for CSS for long now. Flex box, Grid all of the articles as brilliant (bar so so long). Yet, often my browser refuses to obey my knowledge of Centering. Haha. On a different note, try their animation article. That’s also brilliant!

sometimes just margin: auto is enough
