Blog preview card solution using Flexbox

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

I'm most proud of achieving a pixel-perfect match with the design, especially the hover effects and responsive layout. The card's shadow effect and the smooth transition on the title hover came out particularly well. The mobile responsiveness works smoothly, and the image handling in different screen sizes is effective.

For next time, I would:

• Start with a mobile-first approach rather than desktop-first
• Use CSS custom properties (variables) for colors and spacing to make the code more maintainable
• Consider using relative units (rem/em) more consistently throughout the project
• Plan the responsive breakpoints more systematically

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

The main challenges I faced were:

1. Image handling in the mobile view - Initially, the image wasn't scaling properly on mobile screens. I solved this by using object-fit: cover and setting specific dimensions for the image container.

2. Font sizing for different screens - I struggled with making the font sizes match the design exactly on both mobile and desktop. While I ended up using media queries, I learned there are alternative approaches using relative units.

3. Card shadow and border - Getting the exact look of the card's shadow and border took some trial and error. I eventually achieved it by combining border and box-shadow properties effectively.

I overcame these challenges by consulting MDN documentation and experimenting with different CSS properties until I found the right combination.

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

I would appreciate feedback on:

1. Best practices for responsive typography - I'd like to know if there are better ways to handle font-size changes between mobile and desktop views without relying heavily on media queries.

2. CSS organization - While my code works, I'd love to hear suggestions about making it more maintainable and following industry best practices.
