Solution retrospective


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

I was proud of the way I approached this project this time around. The previous QR code project gave me some insight on the best place to start. For next time, I will to find a more suitable structure for the html because I had to tweak this one a bit to achieve the closest representation of the target layout.

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

I had some issues with other elements changing when I was applying sizes to the elements further along the card. I found out that when you apply a <b> tag, it restricts the modification of the font-size. At least, it did in this case. Once I removed that, it worked. I used font-weight instead to embolden the text to match.

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

I still struggle with keeping the HTML semantical. At times, it's not clear whether or not a 'div' would be too general. I've learned that the rule of thumb for 'section' is that: if everything within that tag relates to/relies on one another, then it's appropriate. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!

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.
