Blog preview card

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

I used custom properties so code is more consistent (I think).

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

I’m not doing too well with handling images in css.

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

The main image in design preview is a bit higher on mobile layout than in my solution. It's cropped on the sides, so aspect ratio is different. Is there any way to achieve the same effect without cropping source image in e.g. Photoshop? Another thing - I'm not sure if I used BEM metodology right (particularly card__author section). And one more thing - I didn't nest anything in css because I read somewhere that this makes the code easier to read. Is that true? I love nesting and I'm a little disappointed ;)
