Solution retrospective


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

I am most proud of the way I made the overall design and how I was able to position everything the way i wanted. In the future, I would use display: flex and display: grid a lot more.

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

The biggest challenge I had to overcome was the centering of all the items. I had help from discord servers that are about front end development and I fixed it with this piece of code.

this is for the box centering: margin: 0; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;

flex-direction: column; min-height: 80vh;

this is for the image centering: margin: 0 auto; margin-top: 1rem;

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

The specific area that I would like assistance with is learning how to make the text elements (, and ) not be in correlation with the width of the hyperlinks (). I temporarily fixed this situation by adding a minimum width to min-width: 13rem; which translates to 208px in width, but once the text elements go past that width, the border goes along with it. This is the main problem I have.

Another question I would like to know the answer to is how to confirm that the website is multiplatform compatible. I would also appreciate to understand any bad habits that I have done and how I can replace and break them off.

Thank you for your support.

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.
