Hey guys! Can I somehow center the container itself? For my personal page I have an about page that displays an image, a header and a paragraph (displayed as a column with flexbox). When I apply a max-width to my container in order to avoid the paragraph's text expand to much, at a certain browserwidth the container and its items won't be centered to the page anymore.

if you want to center the parent flex container in another container, then just give it the properties ..to another container display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; as u see everything is simple.
