Hi !

How could my "social media icons container" looks better ? I didn't find how to get the same "shape" as the design (desktop version).

Any tips about the code in general are more than welcome as usual !!

Have a nice day :-)

    Hey, Sandra! 👋

    Great job on this challenge! I like how you actually made the social media icon links go to the home pages of their respective websites! 😉

    I suggest,

    • Giving the card component a fixed width so that it doesn't become too stretched when the height of the viewport increases.
    • Giving a hover and active state to the social media popup button.
    • You could make the social media popup in the desktop layout look a little closer to the design by giving it a border-radius and creating the little down arrow with a ::before or ::after psuedo-element (just position it relative to the popup itself). You can position the entire popup using absolute positioning (as you've done) but doing away with the left property completely and simply writing something like right: -3rem. You might have to set overflow: visible for the component, though, and manually add the border-radius to the image so that the popup is still visible off the edge of the card.

    Keep coding (and happy coding, too)! 😁

    Consider including the svg inline(place the svg text in the page) rather than by link, so you can take advantage of the ability of styling the content of the svg file through css.

    (Hint: change the fill property to "currentColor", than it take the value of the nearest color declaration. Sara Soueidan is a person to follow if you are interested in that topic. )

    The social media container is basically a rounded rectangle and a triangle. There are a few approaches to get it right. Consider looking into css shapes and working with pseudo-classes. It's a big topic.

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.
