Solution retrospective


I've been wanting to build a slider because one of the recent tutorials from Kevin Powell features an FEM page with a slider. The most challenging part wasn't building the actual slider but positioning all the SVGs and to make sure they can be viewed optimally while still maintaining a good distance/relation with the surrounding elements. It's also interesting that one of the requirements is to use arrow keys for the slider because I've read that for a screen reader user, it's best to have users use the tab key for navigation and not so much the arrow keys. I did come across some insightful articles on the challenges of building an accessible slider/carousel, and I do hope to work on this some more later. I also hope to put in some opacity transition later on, but I think on the whole, everything works for now, and I think this was a good attempt in building a slider that can be accessible.

Do let me know if something isn't working as it should. Happy testing!

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.
