Solution retrospective
Hello there, everyone! 👋 Here's another CSS challenge I decided to tackle.
At first, I wanted to practice another CSS framework — Tailwind. However, I didn't find it very entertaining: looking up specific tailwind classes when I can just write my own styles, ugh. 😒
Don't get me wrong, I still learned a lot about Tailwind! In fact, it's the best CSS framework I tried. (As some of you know, I also tried Bootstrap and Bulma in the last couple of challenges.) It is very comprehensive: you get way more classes than in Bulma and can style your page with virtually no CSS! However, sometimes, there's still a need to apply a very specific value to width
or use pseudo-classes (or -elements), for instance. Well, you see, no matter how extensive a certain framework is, plain CSS will always be more flexible. 😏
So, I believe that from now onwards, I'll write my own styles, using SASS, and use CSS frameworks only for super-small projects.
Well, thanks for reading this long text till the end. 😅 And happy coding to all of you! 💻
