Solution retrospective


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

I am proud of my efforts to improve accessibility. I used aria-label attributes to enhance the experience for visually impaired users. I ensured that screen readers would inform users when a link opens in a new browser tab, without adding redundant visible text that could clutter the interface for sighted users.

If I were to approach this project again, I would explore additional accessibility features.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
  • Please comment on the semantic html structure I used.
  • Please suggest accessibility features I should explore.

    Hey!

    You did quite good work with semantic and accessibility!

    The only things that could be improved in semantic - is a list of the links. I mean you can put links inside ul and li elements. Also the aria-label attributes aren't necessary here - the screen reader can read the text inside the link.

    I wonder, what the purpose of the rel attribute in the links? Never have seen them before =)

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.
