Responsive Interactive rating component using JavaScript

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

I'm most proud of how I structured my code throughout the project. I focused on writing semantic HTML, organizing my CSS efficiently, and ensuring design responsiveness across different screen sizes. Additionally, I took extra care to follow best practices, which made debugging and refining the project much easier. I'm also very proud as this is my very first project involving JavaScript after learning the basics of the language. Next time, I would focus more on optimizing my workflow.

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

One of the challenges I encountered was implementing certain JavaScript functionalities. There were some operations I wasn't entirely familiar with, which made it difficult to achieve the desired functionality right away. To overcome this, I did some research on how to use the classList property to check if a particular element contains a particular class by using the ".contains" property. This experience helped me deepen my understanding of JavaScript interactivity and improved my problem-solving skills.

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

I would appreciate feedback on my JavaScript implementation, particularly on how I handled event listeners and classList. While I was able to make the functionality work, I'd like to know if there's a more efficient or cleaner way to achieve the same result. Additionally, I'd love guidance on improving my CSS organization. I feel like I might have written some redundant styles, and I want to ensure that my approach is structured and maintainable. Finally, if there are any best practices I might have missed, whether in JavaScript, HTML, or CSS, I'd love to hear any recommendations for improvement.
