Solution retrospective


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

I already had some experience in solving similar problems, so I decided to make the layout more adaptive, using Flexbox, and more improveable, using CSS variables.

In order not to worry about resetting built-in browser styles, I used Normalize.css.

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

Unfortunately, I found out that the standard CSS does not have such functions as mixins, although they would be appropriate for adding text styles. See the example below.

@mixin text-preset-1 {
  font: 700 22px/120% "Outfit", sans-serif;
  letter-spacing: 0px;
}

@mixin text-preset-2 {
  font: 400 15px/140% "Outfit", sans-serif;
  letter-spacing: 0.2px;
}
.card__title {
  @include text-preset-1;
  margin: 0;
  text-align: center;
  color: var(--slate-900);
}

.card__subtitle {
  @include text-preset-2;
  margin: 0;
  text-align: center;
  color: var(--slate-500);
}
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I'd be interested to know what fallback exists to reproduce mixin functionality in vanilla css.

    Nice job with this task. You may consider for future projects using semantic elements like for example <article>, <section> etc. instead of <div> making your markup more meaningful to both developers and assistive tech. Try using rem/em for your fonts and spacing instead of px so your layout adapts smoothly across screen sizes and respects user settings. Keep experimenting and refining, you’re doing fantastic work!

    CSS custom properties, also known as CSS variables, are a powerful feature that allow developers to define reusable values directly in CSS. They improve code maintainability, consistency, and make it easier to apply global design changes.

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.
