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

Finishing the project and getting to use js to add functionality to projects.

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

At first when I added a second event listener within an event listener both of them were being executed on single click and it wasn't working one after the other like it's supposed to chatgpt suggested using stopPropagation() and I did that.
I wasn't able to figure out how to do the active states for both mobile and desktop using CSS so I used JS. For JS, I went with simple innerWidth property.

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

What would have been the best approach to deal with active states. Can it be done using CSS or is JS required?

Hi Sristhi 👋, Been a long time!,

Anyway,

For this

What would have been the best approach to deal with active states. Can it be done using CSS or is JS required?

I think there is no problem with using JS for active states, and In CSS, you can use the :hover or :active, to make the element active on click and on hover. However the hover state does not work in mobile phones, so you should use the :active.
