    Hello NixyMc! 👋

    Good job on your solution. Your markup is organized and easy to read from a developer's POV. I see you used BEM for classes and CSS custom properties, which definitely helps with code maintainability. 💯

    In terms of keyboard accessibility, I think the social links at the footer can be improved. I'm able to see the correct active state when I hover over the icons, but not when I press the Tab key to cycle through them. This is because you added the hover animation to the icon inside the link, which is not an interactive element. When using the Tab key, the <a> element is being focused, but not the icon inside of it. You can fix this by adding the .social__link selector to your hover styles.

    For example (a bit wordy, but it works):

    .social__link:hover .social__link__icon,
    .social__link:hover .social__link__icon::after,
    .social__link:focus-visible .social__link__icon,
    .social__link:focus-visible .social__link__icon::after {
    color: var(--icon-hov);
    border-color: var(--icon-hov);
    }
    

    Even better, I recommend checking Sara Soueidan's article on Accessible Icon Buttons for a better implementation you can apply to your projects.

    Hope it helps, happy coding!

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.
