Hi, everyone! 👋 It feels great to finally submit this solution. I’ve wanted to do this challenge since I started doing Frontend Mentor projects. It was definitely a learning experience (see: README), and hopefully I’ve made up for the lack of effects in my Sunnyside solution. 😆

The parallax effect is only on desktop and tablet. It’s also turned off, along with all animations and page transitions, for those who prefer reduced motion. 👍

Questions:

• This was my first time implementing a “tabbed” interface. I opted to use button elements for the tabs. Is there a better and/or more accessible way to create tab functionality?
• I’m concerned that the image animations on the tabbed Events section are getting messed up if the image doesn’t load before the animation triggers. Is there a way to preload images from picture elements in a way that’s responsive and also works with multiple srcsets? Update: I refactored this section a bit, making some tweaks to the animations and putting all content in the DOM rather than dynamically loaded. The flashing issue is now fixed. Huge thanks to Dave and Christopher for their help on this! 🙏
• How is the form accessibility on the booking page? I don’t believe the second page was included in the report.
• Sadly, I didn't manage to style the AM/PM selector like the design because I used select and option elements. Do you know of a better method that would be both accessible and match the dropdown in the design?
• Not sure how I feel about the menu list being parallax on desktop. Does it look too wonky or have I just been staring at it for too long? 😂

Thanks for taking the time to look at my solution! Feedback is always greatly appreciated. 😄

Hi, everyone! 👋 This one is a bit of a “simpler” solution - meaning I didn’t add many animations or effects. I had lots of ideas for this one, but most ended up getting tossed. Instead the big focus was on Svelte and component-based development.

Questions:

• How would you handle a design like this on large screens (1920px+)? Add a max-width to the entire page and keep it centered? Add another media query? For now I’ve just left it, but letting it expand into oblivion doesn’t look great. 😕 "Solved": Went with max-width.
• I used a local variable in conjunction with a Svelte variable to determine the color of the "underline" in the LinksUnderlined component (yellow/pink). I feel like there’s probably a simpler way to do this in Svelte? Solved: Used the method in this REPL for a cleaner solution.
• Is there a way to “disable” a Svelte transition? In order for the transitions I used for the mobile menu to not fire on page load for 800px+ screens, I added a class to disable animations. This feels like a very janky solution to the problem. 😆
• How’s my Svelte in general? Any input on improvements and best practices?

Hi, everyone! This is my first Svelte project, so I'm sure there's much to be improved upon. Still getting used to component-based structure/development, but so far I like it!

Safari continues to plague me. In this project, the .invalid and focus styles for the input are not showing up in Safari, and I can't figure out why. Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated! The CSS mouse animation also had some serious issues in Safari, so I opted to have the original svg icon be displayed both in Safari and for those who prefer reduced motion. Solved: Turns out my Safari was out of date! 😅 Everything works in 15.4 👍 Well, almost. Keyboard tabbing doesn't seem to pick up the maker logo in the header as a link. The outlines also display oddly on the attribution links when tabbing through them. 🤦‍♀️

The animated mouse is heavily inspired by (read: blatantly stolen from and lightly tinkered with) Ryan Mulligan's CSS Site Scroll Micro Animation. Full list of resources in the README.

Please let me know what you think, especially if you see anything that can be improved upon. Feedback is always welcome! 😄

Hi, everyone! It has definitely been a minute, but after a very long coding break I'm back! 👋 I'm excited to be submitting my first premium challenge solution as a Pro member. Having the design files has been a massive time saver! 😄

Since it's been so long, I decided to stick with plain, old CSS and JS for this project - bit of a "warm up". 😅

While the project was pretty straightforward, I did run into a rather odd bug. In Safari, I noticed the podcast svgs were blurry. After some testing, it seems that svgs that have a filter and are also in an img tag are blurred. If the filtered svgs are inline, they display just fine. The only suggestions I found online were to add -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0) or -webkit-filter: blur(0px);. Unfortunately, neither worked in this case.

Since the grey filter on the podcast svgs in the starter code didn't quite match the color in the design files anyway, I ended up editing the svg files directly to remove the filter and manually change the color to match the design. However, if anyone has a simpler solution to the Safari svg blurring issue, please let me know! Have any of you ever encountered it before?

Hi, everyone! 👋 This project ended up being far more complicated and time-consuming than I anticipated, but was a great learning experience.

The desktop bookmark button interaction is a bit different than the design - it toggles. I wanted to experiment and have a bit of fun. 😄 Check out the README for my full list of “additions” and “deviations” if you’re curious!

Questions:

• How much of a hot mess is my JS? 😅 Up until now I’ve only used it for menu toggling, so this was a challenge. I’m sure there’re a million better and more efficient ways to go about everything I did. Please, let me know!
• The largest challenge was keyboard accessibility, which I’m still having major issues with. The selection modal focus trap works when you open the modal using the “back this project” button, but doesn’t function correctly if you use the “select reward” buttons. It also breaks once one of the radio buttons has been selected, so I think that may be the issue. Does the focus trap have to be reapplied/"refreshed" every time an input is selected? Any insight would be appreciated!

Shoutouts:

• Thank you to Dave, for recommending Google’s free accessibility course on Udacity. 🙌
• Thanks to Grace for helping me out with a Safari animation issue. 🙏
• And special thanks to APG & Tediko for helping me stay sane on the long journey to finish this solution! 😂

More animation practice! 😄 Hopefully the screenshot will be ok this time, as the animation is a bit faster than the stats card solution. The animations are only for the "desktop" layout. I think a similar but vertical, "slide down" animation for mobile would be lost on most users due to the smaller screen height and would also be too much movement for a small screen. Let me know what you think!

prefers-reduced-motion was used to prevent the animations from occuring for those who prefer motion reduced. I also added aria labels to the card links to make them a bit more descriptive, but I'm unsure if this is actually helpful for screenreaders or comes off as redundant. Still learning! 😅
