Solution retrospective


👾 Hello, Frontend Mentor coding community. This is my solution for the Art Gallery Website

When I started my journey in Frontend Mentor this was my dream challenge that I always wanted to complete. Now, after 7 months (I know it took to long, but I am a noob 💁‍♂️) its done! Challenge accepted and completed.

The challenge was really challenging, the main struggle I had building this html structure/css was with the header and the image gallery. I had some fun trying to figure out how to make the grid-template-area and after some tutorials I get how to use this tool (was my first time with grid-area).

🎨 I added some custom features:

  • 👽 Hover Effects
  • 🧚‍♀️ CSS Animations

🧐 Special thanks to:

  • @AdrianoEscarabote - AdrianoEscarabote Profile that helped me with the Leaflet Map (I have zero knowledge with JS so I had no idea how to include the map).
  • @VanzaSetia VanzaSetia Profile to explaining me how to make the h1 heading effect in the header with mix-blend-mode: difference.
  • @elaineleung ElaineLeung Profile To have explained me how to add CSS Animations. Now I am really happy adding motion everywhere hahaha. She is of the FEM greatest mentors.

Tutorials used to learn grid-template-area:

  • DESIGN COURSE - Easily Structure your Layout with CSS Grid's 'grid-template-areas'
  • KEVIN POWELL - Why CSS grid-area is the best property for laying out content'

🍚Follow me in my journey to finish all HTML/CSS only challenges (Only 1 missing)! Gotta Catch ’Em All

Ill be happy to hear any feedback and advice!

    This looks great! But previous comments already established that....

    I noticed one thing: the .h1-heading text where you used mix-blend-mode: difference; Blends with the image as well. It would look sharp on all screen sizes if it didn't do that.

    Did you notice it and settled for this? Did you try anything to change it? I love to figure out these kind of challenges within the challenge. I don't know how to fix it (yet). I have a few idea's and plan on finding out what would work.

    Happy Coding!

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
