Solution retrospective


Hey guys,

This was a really fun little project. Without proper data behind it, it seem like a useless component so I just focused on having fun with it.

I added a tiny animation for the data bubble so the whole thing doesn't look so static.

I also tried declaring my custom properties differently this time following Kevin Powell's video so I can manipulate colours more easily. This is definitely something I add to future projects as well!

I used fixed widths for this component. I usually go with max-width, clamp, minmax, etc for setting the width but I thought for this challenge having a fixed width just makes more sense. I tried to pay attention to having the right breakpoints, so it's still responsive, hopefully :)

For the functions (like upload, etc) I used buttons but there may be a better solution. My logic was that these icons would add some functionality instead of pointing to different websites, so button seemed the most appropriate.

Since the display bar of that data usage isn't functional, I just had fun with CSS and made it purely decorative. ^^

If there was any way to improve on this, I'd love to hear it!

Have a good evening everyone!

    This is stellar work! I've got nothing to say regarding the styling since you clearly got that covered, but I do have a suggestion regarding accessibility, as some people get motion sickness from animations, and someone once pointed out to me the prefers-reduced-motion query, which I find very important and always try to implement ever since (sorry if you're already aware of it).

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.
