Solution retrospective

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

I completed this challenge as apart of the introductory learning path and had a lot of fun with it. I feel very confident in the accuracy of the sizing, and responsiveness of both the font-sizes and the width of the card itself.

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

I had no challenges with this, the area I spent the most time on was making sure the padding and margins lined up with the design.

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

I would be interested to hear everyone's ideas on how I went about the usage of CSS variables and my padding, margin, and gaps. Specifically how I went about spacing the body section of the card, although the layout doesn't change I used grid to be able to control the gap in between all of the elements to prevent myself from having to type margin-top: 0.75rem every time and as an alternate to using the :not(:last-child) selector. Not sure if this is a great practice or not. Thanks everyone!

- You don't need the layout to change in order to use flex or grid. It's common practice to use flex or grid in order to use the gap property. What you have done is correct and gives a clean result.
- You should change the card width to be max-width. It won't be a deal breaker in this case but get into the practice of using max-width instead of the fixed width.
