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

I did this project with less amount of time. In future, I would like to reduce this time even further.

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

The positioning of the text was difficult. I used ChatGPT to get a general idea on how to solve it and tried it on my own.

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

Till now, I am learning. So there is growth from my previous project. I would like to know where should I focus more to understand the concepts more faster and clearer.

    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.

    • 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 font-display: swap in your @font-face rule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear.

    • 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 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.

    • I think you can benefit from using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,

    You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟

    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 😁😊😉
