What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I am really proud of a couple things I did:
Knowing how I want to structure my project in my HTML
Using my CSS properties within a of MDN referencing
Using root for my colors
Learning grid.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
Grid is completely new to me. I thought flexbox would be more complex of the two but I prefer flexbox all the way. Getting through this grid challenge, I watched a lot of videos to help me understand the components of grid.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
Is there a way to use grid and flexblox within the same div? In this project I had to manually space some things opposed to using flexbox syntax.
What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I am really proud of using tailwind css in this project and that I know how to use git a little more than relying on VS Code for my code updates. I figured it was time to learn a little more about git and I am really happy I didn't break anything major in the process.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
For incorporating Tailwind, I had no idea where to start. I was so used to using traditional CSS that I thought there was a better way for my code to look "prettier". I did a lot of research and there was no "pretty" tailwind code but once I started using the correct css classes more, I really loved how efficient this was to my coding. I used lots of YouTube videos and articles to help me through this.
For the git aspect, this was something that was new to me because I have a love hate relationship with the terminal but after watching this video and really understanding my code structure, I think I actually want to work in the terminal forever 😂. It makes life easy.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
I really need help with responsiveness in Tailwind because it was a little bit of a beast to handle at first. Any help with S-L screens would be appreciated.
What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I am most proud of incorporating JS into this project. I have the basics down but knowing how JS relates to the DOM was a little tricky for me to understand at first.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
Challenges that I encountered really involved me being resourceful to create solutions within my code. I relied on
MDN and other documentation
Other FAQ submissions for structure within the plus and minus buttons.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
I need help with mobile sizes. I understand the code and how to implement it but it doesn't ever look "right" in my opinion.
What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I’m most proud of how I applied the principles of Flexbox and CSS Grid to create a responsive and visually appealing layout. The consistent use of styles and the successful integration of interactive elements, like hover effects on buttons, were key achievements.
Next time, I would focus on improving the initial planning phase by better organizing the extraction of assets and styles from design tools like Figma. This would help in streamlining the implementation process and potentially reduce the number of iterations needed for adjustments.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
One challenge was ensuring that the card component was properly centered on the page. Initially, the margin property was not sufficient, and the card was not displaying correctly in the center. I overcame this by using Flexbox for the body element, which allowed for precise alignment of the card.
Another challenge was dealing with hover effects on buttons, where the button’s outline and background were not behaving as expected. I resolved this by refining the CSS properties and using resources like W3Schools CSS3 Buttons and W3Schools CSS Hover Selector to ensure proper styling and interactive behavior.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
Mobile View Adjustments:
• Assistance with optimizing the card layout and button styles for different screen sizes, especially for mobile devices.
2. Hover Effects:
• Feedback on improving the hover effects for buttons to ensure they look consistent across various browsers and devices.
3. CSS Grid Layout:
• Guidance on effectively using CSS Grid for responsive design elements, and ensuring that the grid layout behaves as expected across different screen sizes.
What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I am the most proud of going through 90% without having to use websites like W3 schools for syntax. I thought learning about tables would be a little tough but it was pretty easy to figure looking at the syntax that was offered.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
The main challenge that I encountered was trying to figure out if I was going to use flexbox, grid, or the table element to style the calories within the card. After learning the correct syntax, I combined that with what I know about classes in CSS to apply additional styling.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
I would love to know how to put this in a mobile version. I feel really confident with desktop design but I would more help with mobile code.
