What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
Proud of:
- Implementing a robust email validation system that combines multiple approaches:
- Regex pattern matching for basic format validation
- Validator.js library for comprehensive email validation
- Custom domain validation for common email providers
- Creating a responsive design that works seamlessly across different screen sizes
Would do differently:
- Add more comprehensive email validation rules to handle edge cases
- Implement rate limiting to prevent form spam
- Add loading states during form submission for better UX
- Enhance accessibility features for better inclusivity
Challenges:
-
Email Validation Complexity
- Challenge: Creating a reliable email validation system that catches invalid formats while accepting valid ones
- Solution: Combined multiple validation approaches (regex, Validator.js, and domain checking) to create a robust system
-
Responsive Design Implementation
- Challenge: Ensuring the form looks good and functions well across all device sizes
- Solution: Used a mobile-first approach with CSS Grid and Flexbox, implementing media queries for different breakpoints
Email Validation Enhancement
- Looking for feedback on the current validation approach
- Suggestions for handling more edge cases
- Best practices for email validation in production
