REST Countries API with color theme switcher

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

I'm proud of myself that I could make this work. I struggled a lot with this project since my knowledge of React wasn't that great besides using useState and more simple functions, and also it was my first time using tailwind so I had to go back and improve the responsive styling.

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

I really struggled with this initially and actually gave up and thought I couldn't do it. After I learned more about context in React, I could do it, by applying the search input and filter region as context that change the response when mapping. I couldn't figure out how to make this work, but now that I know more about React, I realized it wasn't too complicated. Also when hosting with GitHub pages it didn't work, so I used render and this was better since I didn't have to change any existing code. There was also a lot of errors with missing data for certain countries so I had to handle the data when received.

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

I don't think the styling was done in the best way so I would appreciate some advice with that. For example the country image was always a different size even though I used w-[...px] h-[...px] to control the exact amount of pixels, it always seemed to be a slightly different size.
