    Hello @LouisDev23.

    Congratulation on completing this project. Here are some feedback and suggestions on your chat app:

    • Centering First of all, Center your Body Elements vertically. To do this you just have to add a height to your body: body{ height: 100vh; } . As you are using flex to the body element, giving a height will align its children properly.

    • increase padding to the "chatbox" div and to other elements inside of this.

    • chatbox pictures are not clickable, make them clickable with giving them a link. You can use <a> <img> </a> style, means putting the image inside anchor link.

    • yes, adding an icon is little difficult when we start. But it's actually simple when you know the process. There are many Icon library in the internet that you can use. One of the most famous one is "Font Awesome". Just go to their site and follow the documentation. It's pretty straight-forward actually. I'm doing this for you:

    in the head section of your html, add Font Awesome CDN:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css">

    Then inside your button add the font-awesome icon: <button> <i class="fas fa-chevron-right"></i> </button> .

    • There needs to be some spacing inside the text div.

    • There is an .attribution div. You have put it inside the text div. Replace the .attribution div out of that text div, this .attribution should come after the text div.

    • In Mobile view, the text section is not aligned properly. make it centered by using margin or flex.

    I hope these helps. Let me know if I can help further. Good luck and Thank You.

    Best Regards, Mohaymenul Islam

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.
