React / Vite / plain Css / Typescript / A11y-Slider

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

A follow along by Kevin Powell (but in React).

See YouTube playlist

I wouldn't really have much to do differently. I would start by organizing my React structure better but as I was using a follow along it wasn't necessary.

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

I followed along with Kevin Powell but I did it in React.I branched off from him when it came to the slider/carousel and the last of the styling.

The slider was a tough challenge, integrating the JS in React was not intuitive and I took a while to get it working properly, with some workarounds to achieve the results I wanted.

I had a massive issue with z-index and stacking contexts which I spent a great deal of time learning about. I feel very confident with stacking contexts and using z-index properly now. In regards to the hamburger menu that pops up in a modal with an overlay. After angrily flailing in despair for several hours, I managed to sort it out.

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

Anything you may notice that may or maynot be a best practice, handy advice or even if you've just had a bad day and need to vent: please let me know. Otherwise...

I would love feedback regarding the React side of things.

The CSS was mostly a follow along from Kevin Powell so I don't really need much CSS feedback as the odds are it's probably his and not mine.

Thank you! Gareth
