Code Recipe: Responsive Design with HTML and CSS

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

I'm proud of having taken the initiative to implement a responsive design in this project. Although I'm sure there are many ways to achieve it, I chose to use media queries and grid lines, which was a great learning experience for me.

In future projects, I would like to explore other responsive design techniques to compare them with my current approach and determine which one best suits my needs. I would also like to improve in naming my custom properties in CSS and explore more "efficient" ways to use utility classes.

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

One of the challenges I encountered was styling the ordered list. The default styles of ordered and unordered lists do not provide an option to change their color and size.

To overcome this, I learned about the CSS properties counter-reset and counter-increment. These were necessary to perform a "trick" to style the ordered list. I also made use of the ::before pseudo-element. I considered several ways to achieve this, including "simulating" them using span or div. However, in the end, I decided on the aforementioned method. I'm not entirely sure if this was the "correct choice" and I would appreciate any suggestions or alternative solutions.

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

1. Responsive Design: I used media queries and grid lines to achieve a responsive design. However, I have doubts about whether this was the right approach. Did I do well in using a media query with grid lines instead of assigning a maximum width to the container? Is there a better practice or recommended approach for this?

2. Custom Properties in CSS: Although I used custom properties in CSS to keep my code DRY, I'm not sure if I'm naming these properties in the best way. Are there any standards or best practices for naming custom properties in CSS that I should follow?

3. Use of Utility Classes: I used utility classes in my project, but I would like to know if there is a more "efficient" way to use them. Is there a strategy or technique that I can use to make the most of utility classes?

These are the areas where I would like to receive feedback. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
