Solution retrospective


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

This helped me learn how to make simple layout with just basic style attributes. Next time, I might explore other layout techniques like flexbox & grid.

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

Deciding on the layout technique to use.

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

Any feedback on the CSS I wrote.

    Your solution looks good. On smaller viewports like 375px width it starts to get a little messed up.

    I wanted to learn more about why myself so I looked at your code.

    • I removed margins from .card - I think you were using these to position the card?

    • Changed the width of .card to 100%. Realized this works in mobile view, but in desktop is now stretches the entire screen. So I changed it to max-width: 400px; which allows it to take up the entire screen on smaller screens but not grow larger the 400px on larger screens.

    • Added margin: 0 auto; to .card which centers your .card element on the screen at all sizes.

    So three quick changes and I think you got a great result.

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.
