Solution retrospective


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

The setup of the desktop layout using grid, and the positioning of the svg quote using a pseudo element along with absolute positioning.

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

The main challenges I encountered were in most effectively grouping and naming elements with css classes. I wanted to keep my code as dry, readable, and as reusable as possible. I also found it a challenge to exactly match the box-shadows of the cards, and tried to use the figma design, but ultimately just ended up eyeballing it.

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

I would really appreciate any guidance on the HTML organization and CSS classes I used for the cards. Specifically:

  • What is the most efficient and semantic way to name the cards with different colors
  • What is the most efficient and semantic way to name the cards for the grid template needed to position them in the desktop view
  • What is the best strategy for taking a box-shadow in a design, and converting that to CSS so that color, spread, blur and x/y positioning are accurate.

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.
