Solution retrospective

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

I'm proud of taking a "first principles" approach and implementing the CSS and JS without a bundler, only using the native import features available in the browser. Not exactly ideal from a performance perspective, but it's good for learning. I promise I'll use a bundler next time. 😉

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

HTML forms. Dividing the work in stages definitely helped keep things sane and manageable. So first I worked on structuring them semantically, then making sure they follow the design, and finally adding field validations. It's frustrating when I encounter a gotcha, but coming up with a workaround feels pretty satisfying. 😌

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

For accessibility testing, I'm limited to using VoiceOver on my iPhone SE, so feel free to let me know how I can improve the accessibility implementation. Of course, you can comment on other parts of the code as well!

    There's a few accessibility problems here.

    1. Use the autocomplete attribute on the fields that can be auto filled.
    2. You don't need role alert as well as aria-live. Stick to aria-live, then use aria-desciribedby on he input pointing to the ID of its error. That way, the errors and inputs will be programmatically linked.
    3. Add focusable="false" to the svgs. They are added to the tab order by some screen readers.
