Solution retrospective


This challenge was completed a while ago, I just forgot to submit it.

My first try using tailwind. This challenge is probably the worst to try tailwind for the first time lol. Especially considering that I wanted to have a game-like feel with smooth animations. Also I didn't use anything like classnames to properly merge all the classes, and just used inline ternaries and stuff, so the code looks pretty unreadable :)

Other than tailwind, I used Transition component from Headless UI to make animations and zustand for the state. Much better choice for this project in my opinion would be styled-components for styles, Framer Motion for animations and XState for state.

Although I haven't tried XState in any project yet, I think here it would fit very well. I used their editor to visualize the state flow, and it really helped me. But in order to implement delays between state transitions I had to write seTimeouts in useEffects, which is kinda ugly. With XState it would be done much easier and cleaner.

Maybe I will try to do this challenge again with XState.

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
