Solution retrospective


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

Ultimately I didn't do anything different from my normal process. In the beginning I tested out the "mobile-first" approach by setting my regular CSS properties to go according to mobile, and set my media queries for larger displays. It was a little confusing at first and ended up reverting to setting up the CSS in the traditional manner. With that being said I still have better understanding of "mobile-first" and have a better idea for the next project I may have to approach that way.

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

Having to use two different pictures in the same element, and formatting that element to display the pictures based on size params was a little challenging at first. I initially was going to have two img elements, and set the CSS properties accordingly between the regular and the media queries, but being that the only param was the size/dimensions of the media screen, I just coded the styling directly into the HTML implementing a picture element. Finally adding width properties to the picture element in the CSS file.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Any tips on "mobile-first" approaches, as well as any and all tips for ways to approach building CSS with less code and more efficiency.

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.
