Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I am most proud of achieving mobile responsiveness with the card, however, I would probably look for a cleaner way to achieve the scaling text next time.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I had an issue with the svg image not scaling to the size of the card - it worked fine until shrinking the bounds of the screen, whereupon the card would not adjust it's size. It was able to do this if I removed the svg, and thus determined it was an image scaling issue. I ended up using the following solution:

.article-illustration {
    max-width: 100%;
    border-radius: 8px;
}

For the scaling text, I used the clamp tool as follows:

h1 {
    font-size: clamp(1.2rem, 5.5vw, 1.5rem);
    font-weight: 900;
}

p {
    font-size: clamp(0.8rem, 3.6vw, 1rem);
}

This works, however it was a bit clumsy trying to find the right vw amounts to get them both to shrink consistently with each other.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I would appreciate a better solution for the responsive text, thanks!

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.
