Design comparison
Solution retrospective
For the creation of the project I used Vite + React and for the styles I used Tailwind.
The project was divided into components. The useState hook was used to change the state when calculating the age.
Something interesting was understanding how to handle states between parent and child components.
Problems: when entering the year of birth, it only calculates when a 2-digit year is entered and not a 4-digit year. I couldn't find a solution to this problem.
Any suggestion is welcome !

Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉
Nice attempt :)
I totally understand the amount of effort it takes to build this kind of project.
-
Looks like it does calculate invalid dates like 31/2 & 31/6 and does not throw validation error.
-
Feel free to study my solution to get some ideas about the JS validation.

I also wrote an article on this project and explained everything in a simple way.
In my projects:
- I always start with mobile-first workflow.
- I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body> <main> All content </main> </body>-
I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project(which you did). Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals, make few projects only with the trio and then move on to any framework or library.

I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:
📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.
📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with important topics like block and inline elements, HTML Semantic Elements, accessibility.
I hope you find these resources somewhat helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻
Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨
Feel free to ask more questions☺️

In your calculator component, when you get the date from the input, if currentDate.getMonth() is greater than or equal to the inputted month then you subtract the currentDate.getFullYear() with the inputted year. Try that if it will help
