responsive tailwind css calculator

Hey there! I'm pumped to share more about my approach to the calculator app challenge. 😄 It was such a fun project to flex my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills!

For starters, I focused on setting up the markup to match the designs. Getting the structure down with semantic HTML5 elements really helped streamline the styling process later. I made sure to use header, main, footer tags, and ARIA roles for improved accessibility too.

On the CSS side, I relied heavily on Flexbox and Grid for layout from tailwindcss. This made it smooth sailing to get the numpad and display area aligned nicely across device sizes. I definitely learned some new tricks for responsively styling the range slider and toggle switch that I'll be sure to apply in future projects!

JavaScript was the real brain bender! 🧠 I used event listeners on the number buttons to build the display value string, and wrote logic for the math operators, delete button etc. The theme toggling gave me a chance to sharpen my DOM manipulation skills as well.

In terms of optimization, I tried to keep the JavaScript focused and modular. I probably could have split it out even further into logical files. And there's certainly room to improve performance by only updating specific DOM elements rather than full page re-renders. More to learn!

Let me know if you have any other feedback! thanks! 💪
