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

I'm really proud of adding CSS animations to the theme toggle. I had to edit the SVG using an online tool to make the moon eclipse thingy fit juuuust right, but it paid off when I saw how smooth the animation is.

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

I've had some minor issues when I try to override the global --color-text CSS variable in a component. Looking at the browser devtools, I can see that I was able to override it, but the new color doesn't reflect on the element, which still uses the global CSS variable. As a workaround, I just set the new color in the color property instead of overriding the CSS variable. Maybe my understanding of CSS variables and inheritance isn't deep enough...
