Chat app CSS illustration with React and Sass

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

I’m most proud of how I structured my code to create clean and efficient components. I also explored new techniques, like combining fixed and absolute positioning, which was a first for me. Additionally, I improved my understanding of styling with ::before and ::after pseudo-elements. Next time, I would plan my layout more thoroughly beforehand to avoid revisions and streamline the process further.

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

I encountered challenges with positioning elements, particularly when using position: relative alongside position: absolute. The alignment didn’t work as expected, causing layout issues. To overcome this, I experimented with position: fixed combined with position: absolute, which provided better control and resolved the alignment problems effectively.

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

I’d like help specifically with positioning elements more effectively, especially when combining different position properties like relative, absolute, and fixed. Guidance on best practices for achieving consistent and responsive layouts would be really valuable.
