Solution retrospective


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

I'm mostly proud of how I was able to figure out more "recent" CSS stylings such as drop shadows, transformations, etc. on my own. I also wanted to get as close as I could to the design from eyeballing the visual image only, not extracting the numerical values from the Figma file.

I'm also pleased at how much faster I was able to complete this compared to previous micro projects / components.

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

The question was whether to nest the anchor tags inside their relative DOM elements, or place the DOM elements inside anchor tags. I decided to go with the latter because if this were a full-site design system or theme, there could easily be a case where h3 elements are NOT meant to also be hyperlinks and I didn't want the stylings to be tag-nesting dependent.

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

I used a fixed size since this is a card component. When it comes to responsive designs I'm good with full site and section layouts, but any micro changes to smaller in-page components are not as intuitive to me for some reason.

I would like to know if there's a way to make this (especially the text) slightly responsive without using a hard break point for elements other than the card body itself
