Solution retrospective


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

I am most proud of the fact that my website is very similiar to the design layout presented. I spent a lot of time working on the details from spacing, to installing the given font, to matching the colors in Coolors. Additionally, my mobile responsive design also looks very similiar to the design layout. My navigation menu and sidebar also runs very smoothly.

If I was to rebuild this project from the beginning, I would finish the navigation bar first with exact design and functionality - making sure the mobile responsive menu icon and the menu displayed correctly. I felt this was most challenging part of the project in regards to functionality of the webpage. I felt I coded the project from a top-down approach in that I built out all the big features first and then fine-tuned it. If there was something challenging and I felt that I spent too much time on it, I moved on to something else to keep my brain fresh and would come back to it later.

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

This project was both fun and challenging, providing numerous learning opportunities. I refreshed my knowledge on TailwindCSS, Vite and ReactJS.

Overall, this was a great learning experience, and I had a ton of fun building this.

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

My only feedback or question is - in my countdown section where it lists 01, 02, 03 with information and images. I was unable to get the text to stretch top to bottom all the way vertically with even spacing. How would I do this in Tailwind CSS? Thanks!

    Hello,

    Congrats for your project!

    Tailwind can't take effect on html tag parents of your App react component, but you can still apply style with vanilla CSS in you App.css file. Your HTML, body tags and #root div have their height set to their content. Set the height to 100% of the viewport:

    html,
    body,
    #root {
        height: 100%;
    }

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
