During this challenge I was wondering how to actually style the options of the select dropdown... Is it even possible to style them without having to code an own dropdown component?

    Hey Alex, awesome work on this project. I still haven't dived into TypeScript yet, so it's really nice to read through your code and gain a deeper insight.

    With regards to custom select elements, any custom form control is a bit of a nightmare, especially when it comes to making sure it's accessible. A nice way of creating custom select elements in React projects is to use React Select. I've used it on multiple projects before and it's really well built. It might be worth a try!

    Keep up the great work! 👍

    Hey, Alex, I've seen that you've done like every project here from newbie to advanced and wanted to ask what are your resources to learning web development. I hope you respond!
