Responsive Blog Card with SCSS and Flexbox

Solution retrospective
I'm especially proud of how clean and scalable the SCSS structure turned out. Using a custom @mixin for typography helped me keep styles consistent across the project and made future updates much easier. I also successfully used clamp() for responsive font sizing, which is something I had only seen in theory before this project.
Next time, I would:
- Implement CSS Grid for even more precise control over layout structure.
- Use a style linter (like Stylelint) to catch mistakes earlier and maintain cleaner code.
- Create a light/dark theme toggle to improve user experience.
One challenge I faced was implementing responsive typography in a scalable way. Although I'm comfortable using SCSS, it was my first time integrating CSS clamp() inside a custom mixin. It took some experimentation to find values that worked well across devices, but I eventually created a flexible solution that adjusts font size fluidly without relying on media queries.
Another small challenge was balancing padding and spacing within the card to maintain visual consistency. I overcame this by switching from margin-based spacing to using gap in flex containers, which made the layout more predictable and easier to manage.
This project helped reinforce how SCSS can work hand-in-hand with modern CSS features to create clean, responsive designs.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I’d appreciate feedback on the following:
- How to further optimize my SCSS structure or naming conventions for larger-scale projects.
- Suggestions for making the layout more scalable in case I wanted to add interactivity or expand this into a full blog page.
Any tips for improving code readability or consistency in responsive styling would also be welcome.
