Solution retrospective


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

I'm happier with the responsiveness of the layout than my last solution.

Next time I would use media queries the other way around -> mobile first. It didn't really matter in this case but from what I have read it is better practice to design and build for mobile first.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
  • I couldn't quite get the transition to work on the buttons the way I wanted it too. In the challenge solution, the transition appears to restart on the buttons if you quickly move your mouse onto and off them. I couldn't quite get this working in mine. My transition timing appears to be about right on hover, but the behaviour doesn't match the challenge solution perfectly.

  • I also had issues with margin on my p tags, I ended up setting the margin for all p tags to be 0 by default. Is this considered bad practice?

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

Happy for any feedback. Help with the transition problem I talked about in the problem section would be appreciated.

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.
