Solution retrospective


In order to finish this site in pure CSS, I used a hacky way to make the animation slide effect by hiding the menu on the right side of the viewport and disabling the scroll x. I wonder if there is any better solution to make the animation slide effect on mobile?

    Hi Rendrol!

    Nice solution overall! Your mobile sliding menu could use the 'left' CSS property (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/left), but transition 'translateX' is also a good option I think. Maybe you could use 'width', but that might give a different effect (?, you'll have to try).

    The responsiveness breaks around 375px, and everything looks good again around 1200px I believe. You could add another breakpoint for tablets, or switch your logic using min-width and keep the mobile layout for larger viewports? There are many solutions for this.

    The "Learn more" button is missing a 'cursor: pointer' and hover state (I'm sure you forgot). The div with a class of 'main' could actually be a 'main' html element.

    Hope that helps! Good work!

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.
