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

Figuring out how to get the attribution text under the QR-Code element. It was the trickiest part of the project for me.

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

As I said above, getting the smaller attribution text below the qr-code. Once I figured that out, the qr-code centered itself and it was like the example.

    Well done, here are some things to review 😊:

    • REM for Units: It's best to use rem for all units instead of px, as this ensures scalability and consistency in spacing and font sizes based on the user's root font size. It helps improve accessibility.

    • Semantic HTML: Consider ensuring all elements are wrapped in semantic HTML tags like <main>, <section>, and <article> to enhance the structure and SEO-friendliness of the page.

    • BEM/Convention for Class Naming: Apply a class naming convention like BEM (Block Element Modifier) to make the styles modular and more maintainable. For example, use .card__title or .card--highlighted.

    • CSS Reset: Consider adding a full modern CSS reset (like normalize.css or custom resets at the beginning of the stylesheet) to ensure consistent styling across different browsers. Here is a link to one I really like.

    • Clamp() for Responsiveness: Use the clamp() function for fluid typography and spacing, allowing elements to resize smoothly between a minimum and maximum value based on the viewport size (e.g., font-size: clamp(1rem, 2vw, 1.5rem)).

    • Responsive Card: To make the card responsive, ensure the layout uses flex or grid combined with max-width instead of fixed width values. This will make the design more flexible and adapt better to different screen sizes.

    • Use max-width/min-width and max-height/min-height: Instead of using fixed width and height, opt for max-width or min-width to allow the elements to resize smoothly on different screen sizes, improving overall responsiveness.

    Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗

    Good job and keep going 😁😊😉

    Awesome job tackling this challenge! You’re doing amazing, and I wanted to share a couple of suggestions that might help refine your approach…

    • Using a <main> tag inside the <body> of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content.

    • For future project, You could downloading and host your own fonts using @font-face improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable. Place to get .woff2 fonts

    • Developers should avoid using pixels (px) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, use rem or em, which are relative units that adjust based on user settings, making your design more flexible, responsive, and accessible. For more information check out this, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels or this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained.- Another great resource for px to rem converter.

    • Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% is more responsive than just width: 100% because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning.

    You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟
