Brilliant little guide. Although being a Senior developer myself, and already knowing flex, this is great and I can see this being a real "go to article" for people to remind them about important flex properties.

Good job. Love it - and love the simple class names which have a huge effect on efficiency and simplicity!

Thanks for the kind words:)

All this occurred to me after hundreds of hours spent writing and rewriting same flex properties. Just put them into classes.

Many elements require centered content. There is no way I am writing...

display:flex; 
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;

...for each new centered flex box just to make an element center items on both axis.

JavaScript Teacher I couldn't agree more! It's an absolute pain point writing those exact properties 100000x
