Solution retrospective

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

I am proud of how I handled my problems, even when it felt like quitting was the easiest choice. I admire my resilience. In my next project, I will always comment on each step in my code. I plan to write a book, and I think commenting will be helpful in that process.

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

At first, GitHub was stressful and took a while to understand. Working with CSS was challenging but not overwhelming.

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

I need a simpler way to center my div in CSS. The current method is too bulky. A streamlined version would be nice. My CSS is all over the place. I need a clearer and more organized approach to managing this project's stylesheet.

1. Use CSS Variables for Repeated Values:

Define common values like colors, font sizes, and padding as variables. This reduces redundancy and makes global changes easier.

CSS

:root {
    --font-primary: 'Outfit', sans-serif;
    --font-secondary: 'Young Serif', sans-serif;
    --color-primary: hsl(14, 45%, 36%);
    --color-secondary: hsl(30, 10%, 34%);
    --padding: 2rem;
    --border-radius: 1rem;
}

2. Group Related Styles:

Combine related styles to avoid scattering your CSS.

CSS

body, h1, p, ul, li, img {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-family: var(--font-primary);
}

3. Use Utility Classes:

Create utility classes for commonly used styles like centering, padding, and text alignment.

CSS

.text-center {
    text-align: center;
}
.flex-center {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}
.padding-lg {
    padding: var(--padding);
}

The easiest way for me to center things is to use this three properties on the container in witch we wrap the whole card.

display: grid; place-items: center; min-height: 100vh;
