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

With this project I was able to better understand concepts like the CSS Box Model and also CSS Grid.

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

Aligning the social buttons was difficult. I started by using Flexbox on button elements but later decided to use Grid instead. This is where I learned more about the Box Model and CSS Grid, I used tags instead and managed to align the elements using CSS Grid

.socials {
  display: grid;
  row-gap: 1rem;
  width: 100%;
}

These are the following resources that helped me:

  • Grid Layout: CSS Grid Layout Module by w3schools

  • Box Model: CSS Box Model by w3schools and Learn Box Model by web.dev

  • CSS Reset: A (more) Modern CSS Reset on Piccalilli

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

I am looking to get feedback about the quality of the code that I've written, I tried my best to code while following best practices but maybe I missed something. I'm open to feedbacks for accessibility tips and code quality. Any advice will do! Thank you :)

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.
