How to make sure it’s not self-imposed problem and not in-there research? In my experience, I never thought “layout hard” before joining web dev. And yes, we had scrollable resizeable windows back then. I hear that the status quo is the best way from everywhere. But then I remember my custom appkit, gtk controls and even my own (unreleased) lua-based toolkit, where centering content or wrapping and aligning elements wasn’t an effing deal, and wonder what am I missing.

And yet, that mess is really just an abundance of choices rather than constraints on what you can do
