Solution retrospective

I used a serverless function to hide my API Key. Was harder than I thought it was going to be. Implemented on Netlify. Because of the proxy, it shows Amazon server IP on start instead of user's IP.

    Cool work on this! Great additions on obfuscating API_KEYs through Netlify's serverless functions and also the error message.

    Have you considered, instead of using HTML .d-line classes in the markup, to use a CSS solution or pseudo-element only present in the Desktop view?

    Other markup and styles all look very readable.

    @windless13 I had a solution that used a div:not-first-child (pseudo code) that used border-left, but the line used the whole height and the designed called for something shorter. So I went for the display:none vs display:block method. I think pseudo selector would be cool, but it led to a dead-end for me. Thanks.
