Solution retrospective


Couldn't sleep so decided to do a Frontend Mentor Challenge.

There are probably far better ways to complete this with less CSS,

    Good use of those sleepless nights!

    Your solution looks great especially given you should have been sleeping.

    Looking at the live preview everything looks good on different screen resolutions.

    Looking at the code:

    • The code is well structured and readable
    • Great use of naming for the CSS classes

    The only suggestion I have in terms of improvements is to try using semantic HTML to markup components - you could view a social card as an ‘article’ that has a ‘header’, some ‘content’ and ‘footer’ section in most cases (expect there's no footer in this design), then the semantic markup could be:

    <article>
      <header>
          /* heading content here */
      </header>
      <section>
          /* main content here */
      </section>
      <footer>
         /* footer content here */
      </footer>
    </article>
    

    Overall I like your 'style'

    I hope you find this useful, keep on coding, but get some sleep sometime ;) !

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.
