Awesome work on this challenge PJ and congrats on submitting your first solution! You've done a good job of creating the hamburger menu. What did you have difficulty with? CodePen is a great place to look to see how people build them purely from HTML and CSS.

@mattstuddert I had great difficulty in displaying the menu list on a small screen. I spent days trying to achieve this. I wrote lots of codes which I felt was a little too much. I was just wondering if there's another better and easy way to achieve the design.

@PJMantoss as far as the actual menu dropdown goes you've done a good job. In hindsight, I should have actually added the icons as SVGs inside the project. I've actually updated the GitHub repo as a result of this, so thanks for bringing it up. This would prevent you from needing to code a custom hamburger menu and close icon. Another option would have been an icon font library, but then it wouldn't look exactly like the design.

@mattstuddert Hey Matt! I just checked out the repo. I saw the icons you added. I'm glad you didn't add the icons before I took the challenge. That would've prevented me from learning something new. Even though, I must admit, it was frustrating :) At least I've learnt how to design a hamburger menu using only CSS. And also, initially I considered using a font icon from material-ui but decided against it after considering the lack of flexibility in customizing it to look like the design. Thank you

@PJMantoss no problem. Yeah, it's good practice! It can definitely be frustrating when you spend hours on a single problem, but that's where the real learning happens.
