Solution retrospective

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
  • This was my first time working on a JavaScript project that was not part of a video course where I follow tutorials. It felt good. I also gave myself an extension goal of making the share options disappear when either 1) The button is clicked again or 2) Anywhere else outside the share menu is clicked.
  • I greatly improved my understanding of stopPropagation() and how it prevents the event from moving up the DOM tree to parent elements and triggering their event listeners. Particularly useful for pop-up menus (in this case it was the simple share menu).
  • This was also my first time using AI (ChatGPT) to assist when I was troubleshooting my code. I was careful to 1) Not include any actual code from my project and 2) Treat it similarly to MDN documentation where I try to break down the problem and understand it so I can then apply it to the code myself. I do not intend to have ChatGPT to write my code at any point (other than very basic boilerplates) or to read my own code as this could lead to problems - both in the code itself and its origin.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
  • In this project, I was having issues with my 'hidden' class when I moved it toward the top of the code. Ensuring Utility Classes are at the bottom of my CSS file (or for future projects, in a separate 'utilities' file that is loaded last) makes sure that it is not overwritten.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
  • This was my first time properly writing my own JavaScript code. How does it look?
  • Any other feedback is welcome.
