Solution retrospective


Hi, everyone! This is my first Svelte project, so I'm sure there's much to be improved upon. Still getting used to component-based structure/development, but so far I like it!

Safari continues to plague me. In this project, the .invalid and focus styles for the input are not showing up in Safari, and I can't figure out why. Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated! The CSS mouse animation also had some serious issues in Safari, so I opted to have the original svg icon be displayed both in Safari and for those who prefer reduced motion. Solved: Turns out my Safari was out of date! 😅 Everything works in 15.4 👍 Well, almost. Keyboard tabbing doesn't seem to pick up the maker logo in the header as a link. The outlines also display oddly on the attribution links when tabbing through them. 🤦‍♀️

The animated mouse is heavily inspired by (read: blatantly stolen from and lightly tinkered with) Ryan Mulligan's CSS Site Scroll Micro Animation. Full list of resources in the README.

Please let me know what you think, especially if you see anything that can be improved upon. Feedback is always welcome! 😄

    Hey, Anna! 👋

    Sorry it took me a while to view your solution! 😅

    Overall, your solution looks very nice! Everything's on point and I really like the animation you added to the mouse icon in the hero section of the page! 🤩

    Tiny bug—I don't seem to be able to see the focus outline around the logo in the header of the page in Chrome for some reason. Not sure what's causing it, but off of the top of my head—maybe the wrapper element around it has overflow set to hidden or something? 🤷

    Also, don't know if you've figured this out about Safari yet, but you have to go to the Advanced settings in the preferences panel and explicitly enable "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage" in order to, well, tab to links. 😉

    Don't ask me why that behavior isn't the default like in all other major browsers. 🙄

    Anyway, hope that helps a bit and keep coding! 😄

    Super lovely job!! Looks great!! 🙌

    That Safari thing is a shame - I think focus it might be fixed in the latest version (15.4) but I'm still on 15.3 so I can't try it out.

    Super nice job though!

    Cheers Dave

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.
