Blog Preview Card using Semantic HTML5 and CSS

Solution retrospective
Proud of: Successfully implementing a clean and responsive design that adapts well to different screen sizes. Using Google Fonts (Figtree) to create a professional and visually appealing typography style. Applying CSS properties like box-shadow to give depth and modern UI styling. Ensuring accessibility through semantic HTML5 tags.
What I’d do differently:
Incorporate CSS Grid for areas where more complex layouts might simplify code structure. Add animations for hover effects on buttons and interactive elements to improve user experience. Include better responsive breakpoints to further enhance the mobile design experience.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?Challenges:
Achieving Perfect Alignment: Aligning elements (e.g., buttons and avatars) required careful tweaking of padding and margin values.
Solution: Used Flexbox properties (justify-content and align-items) for precise alignment and inspected the design on different screen sizes for fine-tuning.
Responsive Design Issues: Ensuring the card layout worked well on both desktop and mobile devices.
Solution: Implemented a max-width on the card and media queries to adjust font sizes and padding for smaller screens.
Font Loading from Google Fonts: The imported font styles initially didn’t render correctly in some browsers.
Solution: Ensured the proper use of font-display: swap for better performance and caching.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?Improved Responsiveness: Suggestions on better handling font sizes and spacing for ultra-small devices (like narrow mobile screens).
Code Refactoring: Feedback on how to optimize my CSS for reusability and maintainability, especially for similar components in future projects.
Hover States: Ideas for creative hover effects on buttons or card elements while maintaining a professional and clean UI.
Performance: Best practices for optimizing CSS animations and ensuring fast load times.
