Solution retrospective


Hi all! So first of all I've taken the social media dashboard challenge and decided to use it as a design base for a totally different idea: this Crypto Dashboard! Mainly because I wanted to utilize a actual Rest API from somewhere. I ended up choosing Coincap API for this project.

Second: I decided to implement the brand new CSS native nesting for the first time, as it's now supported by all major browsers! So please note: if the styling seems to break on your end, it's definitely time to update your browser...

All features in my project/version:

  • Active data fetch from live Rest API
  • CSS native nesting
  • Color theme toggle
  • Current date from JS date-time object
  • A bunch of Math functions to properly format the incoming number data.

Conclusion / Learnings: I had a great time converting this challenge to my own idea. Working with the live rates data was very challenging, especially formatting it properly and make some styling respond to positive/negative values. CSS native nesting is truly awesome and I'm very happy it has full browser support now. Although I'd actually set-up the project in SASS, I soon realized it is kind of a pain to realize color modes with SASS.. This works way better in CSS because of the fact root variables can be switched around, and this is not possible with SASS. If anybody has a great solution on achieving color modes in SASS, I'd really like to hear your solutions :)

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
