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

Found this one quite easy! Started to use rem instead of px... Could that be why scaling up from mobile to browser wasnt as painful as previous?

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

Still building on a mobile which has added complexity, no live server or device viewports, no inspect/dev tools etc.

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

Using rem/em amd vh/hw... still a little unsure what best practice is and whats the easiest way of doing it

    hi there 👋

    You should avoid hard-coded values (pixels) most of the time. When you use these values you give up responsibility (or you make it harder for yourself at least)..

    Typically you will increase the font-size property with @media queries. If you have hard-coded values all over your CSS, you need to modify every element's font-size. On the other hand, if you use rem-s all you need to do is changing the font-size in your CSS :root selector and all your elements will have a new size based on that value.

    I usually use em for padding and margin for text-based elements, since their margin usually based on their font-size, and again, when you change the font-size in :root these values will scale up as well without you touching them, making your job easier and your page maintainable.

    Hope this helps! 🙏

    Good luck and happy coding!

    @kodan96 - Hi Koda!

    Thank's for your advice!

    I have only come across the :root selector for colour variables and basically self taught myself through trial and error... sounds like i need to do some more digging on how gain the most value out of it!

    Thanks again, very useful!
