Tailwind CSS: how to create a responsive sidebar that collapses on mobile?
I'm building a dashboard layout. On desktop I want a fixed left sidebar (250px), on mobile it should slide in/out as a drawer.
I've tried using hidden and flex breakpoint utilities but can't get the transition to work smoothly. Is there a standard Tailwind pattern for this?

CSS Grid vs Flexbox — when to use which?
I understand the basics of both Grid and Flexbox, but in practice I often find myself guessing which to use. My confusion:
- Grid is 2D, Flexbox is 1D — but I can fake 2D with Flexbox wrapping
- Grid seems more verbose for simple layouts
Can someone give me a clear decision framework with real examples?

CSS: how to center a div — the definitive 2024 guide?
Yes, I know this is a classic meme, but seriously — there are now 10 different ways to center a div and I don't know which is best in each context.
I want to understand: when to use margin: auto, Flexbox, Grid, position: absolute with transform, and the new place-items: center shorthand. What's the decision tree?
