Implement responsive testimonials grid with desktop, tablet, and mobil

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

• Add CSS Grid layout with responsive breakpoints
• Create custom color variables for consistent theming
• Implement smooth transitions for width changes
• Add tablet-specific layout for better UX
• Update README with solution screenshots and learnings

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

1. Grid Layout Complexity

   • Creating a responsive grid that accommodates differently sized cards
   • Managing the unique layout where the first card spans two columns and the last card spans two rows
   • Ensuring the grid maintains visual hierarchy across different screen sizes
   • Implementing a tablet layout that effectively breaks down the desktop design

2. Responsive Design Issues

   • Cards initially stacked incorrectly in mobile view due to inherited grid positions
   • Had to carefully consider breakpoints (768px for mobile, 1024px for tablet)
   • Needed to adjust the container width (90% mobile, 75% tablet, 55% desktop) for optimal viewing
   • Added max-width to prevent layout from becoming too wide on large screens

3. CSS Specificity Challenges

   • Encountered issues with grid positioning rules conflicting between breakpoints
   • Explored two solutions:

     /* Solution 1: Using !important */
     .card {
         grid-column: 1 !important;
     }
     
     /* Solution 2: Using specific selectors */
     .card:nth-child(1), .card:nth-child(2)... {
         grid-column: 1;
     }
     

   • Learned about the trade-offs between using !important and more specific selectors

4. Design and Styling Details

   • Implementing the quotation mark background image with correct positioning
   • Creating consistent card styles with proper border-radius and padding
   • Managing text opacity for different elements (verified status, testimonial text)
   • Styling profile images with border effects and proper sizing

5. Performance and Optimization

   • Adding smooth transitions without affecting performance
   • Using CSS custom properties for maintainable color management
   • Organizing CSS with proper grouping of related properties
   • Ensuring the layout transitions smoothly between breakpoints
