How to create elements that fill the line evenly to the end, like on img below?

I wonder what is the best way to do it like img. I mean block alignment
from left to right and taking the maximum length of the row.
Which is better, write a script specifying and adapting the block size to the container size, or do it somehow using the css grid. I don't want a ready solution, just tips. Regarding the code, I wrote only so much and I think how to transform it. That's why I'm looking for a hint (What I want to get https://i.ibb.co/jkgTrzT/how-to-create-a-row-of-elements-of-different-width-inside-grid.png)(what I got https://i.ibb.co/p0NkD8K/what-I-got.png)
HTML:
<div class="tags">
food
photography
web design
art
love
business
</div>
CSS:
.tags {
padding: 20px 0;
}
.tags a {
padding: 12px 24px;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: uppercase;
border: 1px solid rgba(144, 144, 144, .5);
color: black;
margin: 0 15px 15px 0;
display: inline-block;
transition: .5s ease;
}

You need to display the tags in flexbox. When the tags have flex: 1;, they will fill up remaining space.
.tags {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.tag {
display: block;
flex: 1;
min-width: something;
white-space: nowrap;
}

If you know what widths to expect in your a elements, you could just use float and clear styles, something like this:
.tags {
width: 270px;
padding: 20 px 0;
}
.tags a {
padding: 12px 24px;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: uppercase;
border: 1px solid rgba(144, 144, 144, .5);
color: black;
display: inline-block;
transition: .5s ease;
}
.left { float: left; margin: 0 15px 15px 0; }
.right { float: right; margin: 0 15px 15px 0; }
.clear{ clear: both; }
<div class="tags">
<div class="clear">
<div class="left">food</div>
<div class="right">photography</div>
</div>
<div class="clear">
<div class="left">web design</div>
<div class="right">art</div>
</div>
<div class="clear">
<div class="left">love</div>
<div class="right">business</div>
</div>
</div>

Waypoints not working properly with my sidenav

I'm attempting to make a side nav on my site which adds the "active" class to it's four buttons but I cannot seem to make it work properly.
I've successfully added waypoints to the code but they always seem to be a little off and it takes a bit of extra scrolling from the user to activate the waypoint. I've also tried to follow the {offset} rules in the documentation but to no veil. They either stop working properly from last to first or they stop doing so from first to last.
In order to make the sidenav work, I've split the page in columns, as shown in the CSS below. Feel free to provide insight on the code, as this is a learning exercise and I KNOW my code is pretty dirty at the moment (particularly Javascript)
The side nav:
<div class="sidebar verticalized" id="sidebar-verticalized">
<ul id="sidenav" class="side nav-fixed hide-on-med-and-down">
<li class="side-link">
<a class="side-link-first link1" onclick="clickOne()" href="#">01</a>
</li>
<li class="side-link">
02
</li>
<li class="side-link">
03
</li>
<li class="side-link">
04
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS:
html {
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 0px; /* remove scrollbar space */
background: transparent; /* optional: just make scrollbar invisible */
}
.page{
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 300px auto;
}
.sidebar{
position:fixed;
width:300px;
}
.main{
grid-column-start:2;
}
.verticalized {
margin: 0px;
padding:0px;
float: left;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);
left:9%;
}
my mess of JS (each section is declared below):
var $section1 = $('.header');
var $section2 = $('.portfolio');
var $section3 = $('.what-we-do');
var $section4 = $('.contact');
var $link1 = $('.link1');
var $link2 = $('.link2');
var $link3 = $('.link3');
var $link4 = $('.link4');
$section1.waypoint(function (){
$link1.addClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section2.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.addClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section3.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.addClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section4.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.addClass('active');
});
What I've tried so far:
Offset: bottom-in-view (sections are sometimes too large and therefore the old active element remains)
Offset: +/- x% (This fixes the issue from one end but not the other one: I could be going from 1 to 4 on links and it works, but 4 to 1 is broken and vice versa)
Any and all advice/tips are welcome. I'm trying to imitate the bootstrap navbar behaviour with active items for each section.

Some hr tags have gaps inside them while other doesn't

I have a pen, which is basically a todo app. The todo items are actually li elements which have text, button and a hr. Some of them are having hr with spaces inside them while some doesn't.
Image:
HTML:
const j = $;
j(() => {
let validify = txt => {
if (txt.length > 0) {
j('#ctn').append(`<li class='td'>${txt}<button class='td-btn'>Dismiss</button><hr/></li>`);
}
j('.td-btn').on('mouseenter', function() {
console.log('added');
j(this)
.parent()
.addClass('del');
console.log(j(this).parent().attr('class'))
}).on('mouseleave', function() {
console.log('removed')
j(this)
.parent()
.removeClass('del');
}).on('click', function() {
j(this).parent().css('display', 'none');
});
j('#addtd').val('');
}
validify('');
j('#btn').on('click', () => {
validify(j('#addtd').val());
});
});

Can anyone explain me why it is so?

This is happening due to CSS Sub pixel rendering.
When you zoom-in/out of the browser, the rescaled elements will have left over pixel values like 5.75px etc. The vendor decides how to deal with that.
In your case the easiest fix, at least in Chrome, is to cancel the border radius to 0px, instead set the height of the hr to double the border and give it a background color:
border: 0px solid #9E9D24;
padding: 0;
height: 14px;
background: #9E9D24;

Seems like this issue is browser related, since it works fine for most people. Possibly your browser has a default styling for hr elements. It is, however, nowadays bad practice to use a horizontal line for presentational terms. Source
You would be fine by using a border-bottom on your li element. If you want to position the border lower than the default position, you can use padding-bottom on the li element. Your HTML structure also looks a lot more clear with this.
For example, changing the styling of your CSS selector li.td to the following could do the trick:
li.td {
font: 500 20pt Lato;
list-style: none;
color: #CDDC39;
border-bottom: 10px solid #9E9D24;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
In case you really need to use the hr element, you could attempt to remove all default margin since some browsers add a margin by default. For that, add the following styling to the element:
margin: 0
which would result into
hr {
border: 7px solid #9E9D24;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Did you edit your pen to fix the issue? When looking at your pen preview all <hr> tags are rendered without an empty space inside.
The only suggestion I have, is that in HTML <hr> doesn't need to be explicitly closed, unless you are using XHTML, then you need to properly close the tag <hr />. Since you are just writing HTML, I would go with the <hr>.

Possibly better way to code this hacky toggle button?

I have a toggle button that has been coded up, but I dont think its good to use in my form, since its a pretty bad hacky code to select either option.
Is there a better/efficient way to code this toggle button instead? I am not good with jQuery, so any help with provided functionality would be helpful.
If there is also a way of programming it to slide the toggle left/right instead of clicking left/right would be great also.
I have also attached these images to show the behaviour of how it should function:

A pure CSS version:
On the following snippet there's a hidden checkbox that becomes checked/unchecked when the content in label is clicked. Using the CSS :checked selector, the #background position is changed from 0% to 50% and it's color changes from red to blue.
The background is separated from the text and set with position:absolute (to be easily moved) plus z-index:-1 (which brings it to behind the subtitles). A CSS transition added on the #background animates the changes on it's position/color.

You can do this completely in pure css, but since you were asking for jQuery...
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.input-button').click(function() {
if ($('.public').hasClass('selected')) {
$('.public').removeClass('selected');
$('.private').addClass('selected');
$('.slider').stop().animate({
left: '48%'
}, 200);
} else {
$('.private').removeClass('selected');
$('.public').addClass('selected');
$('.slider').stop().animate({
left: '2%'
}, 200);
}
});
});

Here is a good example of what you were trying to create
jQuery on-off-switch.js Plugin
It also implemented with jQuery and supports the sliding on drag functionality.

Align list item images to center in html

I'm learning web development with responsive design(still a noob) so please go easy! I will try to be as thorough as possible but please let me know if you need more information!
So I'm trying to design a page which has jquery hover effects on images. You would think I'm having trouble in the JS but my problem is much simpler which makes it frustrating like hell. I want my images to align in the center while they're aligned to the extreme left. the image boxes are li's and I've tried to add them to a div and align the div to the center.
Please note that I also need it to be responsive so can't simply add a margin or padding.
Following is my html body:
<body>
<div class="body">

Your edited code:
.da-thumbs li {
display:inline-block;
width:46%;
margin: 5px;
padding: 8px;
position: relative;
}
.da-thumbs li img{
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}

You were floating the li's for one thing, also you want to add the box shadows to the images, not the li. The reason for this is that the li is going to be larger than the image, so the box shadow will appear far away from the edges of the actual image. As the screen shrinks, the images will stack. You may need to eventually give the images this styling:
max-width:100%;
so that they don't go off the page at phone width (I didn't look at the size of the images). Hope this helps you.

Can't you do:
margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
? This would be responsive, it's not a fixed margin.
