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

Font weight was not working for the variable font, I should've specified a range then used font-variation-settings(not mandatory). like this

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Inter';
  font-weight: 100 900;  
  src: url(Inter-VariableFont_slnt\wght.ttf) format("truetype"))
} 

h1{
  font-family: 'Inter';
  font-variation-settings: 'wght' 500; /*can get away with font-weight:500; */
}
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Was my first time using @font-face rule to load up custom fonts.I'm still not a hundred percent sure if this is the right way to do it.

I always struggle with giving height to my body and container.Last time, when I used min-height on the body and had a height of 100% set on the container.The container wasn't filling up the whole page.So when I have a container and I want that container to take up the full page, is this the correct way?

body {
/*last time i used min-height here container wasn't taking up the full page  */
  height: 100vh; 
}
.container{
height:100%;
}

So far i haven't had any issue with this

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

Not sure but I'm always surprised at how different the web pages looks when I submit the solution, like padding/margin and width/height looks completely different.

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.
