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

I played around to make the site as responsive as possible. Added some media queries to handle landscape modes on mobile.

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

It was my first time using figma, understanding where to find the dimensions and styling was a good challenge.

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

General feedback! Happy to learn and see how others did :)

    If you want to make your card responsive with ease you can use this technique:

    .card {
width: 90%;
max-width: 37.5rem;
}

    On the smaller screens card will be 90% of the parent (here body), but as soon as the card will be 37.5rem (600px) it will lock with this size.

    Also to put the card in the center I advise you to use this code snippet:

    .container {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}

    Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗

    Good job and keep going 😁😊😉

    Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

    • 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.

    • It is completely unnecessary to wrap all these tags in a <div>, Serves no purpose,

          <div class="category">
        <p>Learning</p>
      </div>
      <div class="date">
        <p>Published 21 Dec 2023</p>
      </div>
      <div class="cardTitle">
        <p>HTML & CSS foundations</p>
      </div>
      <div class="description">
        <p>These languages are the backbone of every website, defining structure, content, and presentation.</p>
      </div>

    • Having a clear and descriptive alt text for images is important because it helps people who use screen readers understand the content, making your site more accessible. It also improves SEO, as search engines use alt text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,

    • Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

    • While px is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such as border-width, border-radius, inline-padding, and <img> sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, using px for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units like rem and em adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Use px where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.

    • 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.

    I hope you found this advice helpful! Keep up the great work, You’re doing amazing, and I can’t wait to see what you create next. Happy coding! 🚀

    you don't need a div for every <p>. p {display: block; margins, paddings....}
