Responsive QR Code Component with Accessible Landmarks

Solution retrospective
I'm most proud of achieving a pixel-perfect design that aligns with the Frontend Mentor style guide, particularly in typography and color consistency. Using CSS Flexbox for a centered, responsive layout and CSS custom properties (--White, --Light-gray, etc.) simplified maintenance. Adding <main> and <footer> landmarks resolved accessibility warnings, improving semantic structure. Normalizing line endings with .gitattributes ensured cross-platform compatibility.
Next time, I would incorporate ARIA attributes earlier and explore subtle CSS animations (e.g., a hover effect on the QR code) to enhance interactivity without impacting performance.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?One challenge was ensuring the card component remained centered and responsive across screen sizes. I adopted a mobile-first approach, setting base styles for smaller screens and using a media query (@media (min-width: 375px)) to adjust the container width, ensuring consistency.
Another challenge was resolving accessibility warnings (landmark-one-main and region) and divergent branch issues from simultaneous local and remote changes. I added <main> and <footer> landmarks to address accessibility and used git pull --no-rebase to merge changes, resolving conflicts manually to preserve all updates.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I would appreciate feedback on: Accessibility: Are there additional ARIA attributes or semantic improvements I could add? For example, should I include a role or aria-label for the QR code image? CSS Optimization: Is there a more efficient way to structure my CSS in css/main.css, particularly to reduce redundancy or optimize Flexbox usage? Performance: How can I optimize the Google Fonts import (Outfit) for faster loading on mobile devices? Would preloading or a fallback font strategy help? Visual Effects: Are there better ways to style the box-shadow on the card for a more modern effect without impacting performance?
