All solutions

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

I feel I'm pretty happy overall with this. While it went out of the scope of the design a bit, I added some @keyframe to one of the header elements, partly for comfort reasons as sticking with the white had some... drawbacks, but I also just wanted the excuse to see how fading looked for hover. I can't comment how this would affect performance on a full website, but it certainly looks nice in a prototype

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

It's not in the code but I tried using grid also to make the layout, did not work at all. Not a huge deal I just didn't have any luck getting the columns to work out how I wanted to. Otherwise it was more of the same from the previous one I did, though I had a better sense of how to use the display: options.

I never noticed but the inspect element function will also tell you which styles aren't getting used on the page for x y or z reason, which was a really nice thing to see because I didn't know about some of the elements that clash. (Easiest being putting grid and flex elements on the same level of the page.)

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

I think I mostly see where I would like to work on the design aspect: just making sure my sizing is actually cooperating with the screen without distorting the elements too much. If there's anything that anyone else catches however I'm more than happy to hear it

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

I'm just happy I got it to come out similar to the example. There are some size differences that right now I would assume are mostly from the kind of hacked-together way I framed the component (mostly looking at the padding size). I'm not sure I'd necessarily change how I did it, but I would probably at the least read a bit more on what I'm using (see below)

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

I found myself really stuck on keeping the component from changing size depending on the viewport (or I guess dimensions is more accurate?). It was mostly a misunderstanding of how flexbox worked, as that was all I was really shown in college that wasn't just bootstrap. I had to dig around a bit but the component does what is expected regardless of viewport size (based on the testing options IE provides for VS code)

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

Any suggestions for making setting up the components themselves would be greatly appreciated. I find I'm often kind of trying a bunch of possible solutions but it's really just guessing (case in point I was trying to get the same component to respond to both flexbox and grid, which if I understand correctly after some reading will often have them trying to overwrite each other?)

Do you find yourself going from outside in, grid or flex first? Neither? etc.
