🎯 Flexbox Techniques Used:

display: flex;
align-items: center;

Foundation for any button layout - centers content vertically.

gap: 8px;
/* or */
justify-content: space-between;

Two approaches: consistent gaps or push elements apart.

.text-group {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

Stack text elements vertically within horizontal button layout.

flex-shrink: 0; /* for icons */
flex: 1; /* for flexible text */

Control how elements resize on smaller screens.

Consistent Heights: Use align-items: center to ensure all content aligns properly regardless of text length
Icon Sizing: Set flex-shrink: 0 on icons to prevent them from getting squished
Text Overflow: Use text-overflow: ellipsis with flexbox for graceful text handling
Touch Targets: Flexbox makes it easy to create large, accessible touch areas
Loading States: Flexbox maintains layout stability when switching between text and spinners
