Biggest challenge was understanding primary and secondary axis of flexbox. eg. justify-content (as a primary) and align-items (as secondary)

Hey Luka, Your solution is not responsive and practically unviewable, You can change a few things to make it more responsive,

You do not need to have display: flex on every element, avoid using display: absolute, It causes problems and takes elements out of the flow.
Watch this video from Kevin Powell A practical guide to responsive web design,
You should avoid using px as it is an absolute unit and not a responsive unit like rem or em, You should look at this article from a Frontend mentor dev, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels.
Another great resource for px to rem converter.
You should apply a full modern reset to make things easier as you build, check out this site for a Full modern reset.
Check out this article from a Frontend mentor dev about responsive-meaning.

I hope you found some of this information helpful, You should give the articles a good read and I look forward to seeing some more from you, Happy coding! 💻

Hi @Luka-998,

Nice project! Here are a few suggestions:

I noticed that there are too many containers (i.e., <div> elements). To simplify your layout, you can make the <body> a flex container with align-items: center and justify-content: center. Use one main card with flex-direction: column to stack all content without unnecessary nesting. This approach will greatly improve your SEO and accessibility, and also make your code more readable and maintainable, especially for larger projects. Additionally, you can use the <footer> element for the Frontend Mentor footer.

Another cool way to center a <div> is by setting position: relative on the parent, position: absolute on the content, with top: 50%, left: 50%, and transform: translate(-50%, -50%). While Grid is also an option, it can be more complex. For this project, using Flexbox is the recommended approach.

I noticed that you are using HTML tags more for styling rather than their intended meaning. For example, <h1> should be reserved for the page title, <h2> for main headings, <h3> for subheadings, and <h4> for sub-subheadings. An improvement would also be to use the <time> element where appropriate and clean up unnecessary semantics like redundant <section> tags.

Keep up the great work!

Best, Teodor
