I am very proud of the smooth animations i managed to make with JavaScript / CSS for both mobile and desktop versions of the site.

If there is an easier way of animating pop-ups / modals , please let me know !

    Fantastic work, Igor! Your solution looks excellent! As @Dev-Martinien mentioned, I'd recommend reviewing the accessibility report and resolving those issues.

    To answer your question about the animations, how you've done it by toggling classes and keeping the styles in your CSS is perfect. Wherever possible, it's best to keep your styles in the CSS. JS libraries like GSAP are brilliant for more complex animations and sequences, but that would be overkill for this.

    When reviewing your code, I noticed a couple of areas where I'd recommend tweaking things:

    • You're using Sass, which is great. However, you're nesting a lot of selectors unnecessarily. Nesting selectors adds to the specificity of the generated selector chain in the compiled CSS file. For example, in your CSS, you've got this selector section .right_section .social_wrap .name_and_date .avatar which would be much be as .avatar. Creating overly specific selector chains can lead to specificity issues, especially in larger codebases. So it's best to keep selectors as simple as possible.
    • You're using max-width media queries at the moment. Have you ever tried using min-width media queries instead of max-width? It's quite a common workflow with front-end developers to use them and work mobile-first. It can often lead to less CSS code and benefit from loading in fewer styles for mobile users, which can be a nice performance gain.

    I hope these tips help. Keep up the great work! 👍

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
