All solutions

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

I wrote the code with little or no assistance from outside. I used my initiative and problem-solving skills to put the solution together.

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

During the challenge I had a hard time trying to add an event listener to the tiles such that when clicked on, it would reveal its content. So I wound up giving all the tiles the same class name and then accessing them from JavaScript via className. This returned a collection which I changed into an array using the spread [...arr] operator. Using the forEach() method, I added an event listener to each tile such that when any tile is clicked, it closes all other tiles and reveal only its content.

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

My biggest challenge was making the tiles in the accordion close when clicked on a second time. So I used a loop to add a hide class to all the tiles and then toggle the current tile that is clicked on open to reveal its content and change the icon from a plus sign + to a minus sign -. However, I wanted the tile to close, if open, upon a second click, but to no avail. I would appreciate it if you could share with me how I can go about closing a tile that is been open already when it is being clicked on a second time.

Calculating the age was the most challenging task but I'm glad I was able to achieve that with a couple of nested if statements. I used a lot of functions to manage my code organized and readable. However, I am unsure of the method I used in calculating the age. Should anyone have a better way of doing it, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I found validating the form a bit challenging but sites such as w3schools, tutorialspoint, and freecodecamp came to the rescue. One thing I found particularly challenging was showing the success state when the submit button was clicked. I had to put the newsletter and success-state in one main tag and toggle display property to flex and none' or noneandblockfor the newsletter and success-state respectively using JavaScriptDOM`. Please let me know if there is a better way of doing so.

Adjusting font-size according to different device widths without using CSS was particularly challenging to me. I'm glad I found some help online (i.e Google, Stackoverflow and YouTube). Even though my code works and to some extend I'm very satisfied with my solution but I'm not sure of the font-sizes I used and the card with. I need help using frameworks such as reactJS and nodeJS.
