### Built with

- React
- TypeScript
- TailwindCSS
- a11y
- Mobile-first workflow
- React Testing Library + `jest-dom`
### What I learned
I learned that components would naturally be slightly off-center when we make them `position: absolute` while their parents are `position: relative`.
In order to combat this, I realized that all I needed to do was add a `transform: translate(50%, 50%)` according to how I aligned it in order to position itself relative to its own size.
```jsx
```
I also learned that I no longer need to do:
```css
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
}
```
I can instead simply do:
```css
body {
min-height: 100vh;
}
```
