Solution retrospective

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

I tried a couple of new things: arbitrary values in Tailwind classes (e.g. rounded-[20px]) and auto class sorting using Prettier with the Tailwind plugin.

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

Matching the design in Figma. I got a 98% or so match, but an exact match was elusive. Despite matching the padding/margins, font sizes, weights, etc — there was still a slight discrepancy in the layout. Not a big deal, but I'm curious to know why.

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

What caused my solution to be off by a few pixels from the design? I couldn't figure this out so I'd love some suggestions/feedback on this!

Hi, @jboys

I checked out your solution and had a few thoughts:

I noticed you don't have access to the design files, so I assume you used another tool to get as close as possible to the design.
As for why your solution is around 98% accurate but not a perfect match, it could be due to small differences in things like font-size, line-height, letter-spacing, font-weight, padding, margins, etc.

Personally, I don’t think being pixel-perfect is something to worry about, and I believe you did a good job!

Hope this helps!
