Solution retrospective


This was a awesome challenge. The first problem I faced was the line for the indented comments / replies. At first I did this by simply adding a extra div with a border on the left. That worked until I started getting the layout to work on the desktop version, I could not get spacing on the left of the line. I managed to solve this by switching the nested replies to a flex container where I have 1 div which has the line and another div which holds the replies themself.

Then the second problem appeared this was the vote button switching from the bottom to the side as well as the action buttons going to the top when trying to implement the layout for desktop from mobile. The comment layout was based on flexbox but I found that this was not suiting so I moved to a grid layout. I learned that you can add specific gaps for both rows and columns which came in really handy.

Any advice is welcome. (I am trying my best on using correct semantic HTML)

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.
