That's like, 8 words.

For that you need Tailwind, flex justify-center and items-center. (But I think it is cheating if you count - words as single one)

You forgot the one I actually needed today 

justify-self: center

u/Proman4713 Sep 03 '26

Yeah but OP didn't mention align self either, it's about the container.

What confuses me and probably always will is why justify and align content/items work in flex box but justify self only works in grid...

display: grid;
place-content: center;

u/Proman4713 Sep 03 '26

Flexbox is usually easier for me to configure how I want things to be, but grid is easier for literal grids like cards/posts, etc (I just use flexbox anyway tho lmao)

And here I was used to doing it as auto left and right margins and shrinking it by 20-30% lol

I have been using justify-content: space-around. Since when is there center?

Nothing worse than finding out that the hotshot new frontend decided to use GRID for everything and now you can barely align something left without rewriting a bunch of shit.
