This is to kindly request a formatting option that would align items displayed in a collection, e.g. Left of screen or Center of screen.
Currently there is a formatting option to align the text within the item. However, the items always left align in the screen, which creates gaps.
It’s a small thing but I know Glide prides itself on good looking UX and this could be a small win that’s easy to achieve.

Yes, a thousand times yes! It makes it look almost broken, or that something is missing, when the collection isn’t centered!
