Solution retrospective

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

I was able to successfully implement a mobile-first design, starting with the mobile view. I need more reps to be comfortable with this since I am used to doing desktop-first design + I am learning all the new technologies: React, Tailwind CSS, Git + GitHub, and deploying to Vercel.

It's a little overwhelming, but I am focused on implementing the challenge, as it is the most important aspect of learning.

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

Gradually moving up to desktop view. I am still getting used to the mobile-first approach.

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

I think I just need more reps.

    Wow! Your solution is really close to the design file, great job! Since I haven't start a mobile-first design, I am curios about the process, does it just reverse the sequence of media query?

    Hi @KoalaChang!

    Desktop-first designs typically are defined:

    From: any size below your breakpoint 
To: a defined breakpoint

    In CSS, these breakpoints use the max-width property. So for instance, a 720px breakpoint in desktop first design means that your layout applies to 720px screens and below.

    For mobile-first designs, it is typically defined as:

    From: a defined breakpoint
To: any size above it, until the next breakpoint

    In CSS, these breakpoints use the min-width property. So for instance, a 720px breakpoint in mobile first design means that your layout applies to 720px screens and above.

    How I did it

    Although this is in Tailwind CSS, the concept is pretty much the same. Here's a great simple resource that explains how to implement what I said in practice. Mobile-first design

    Let me know if you have other questions. Glad to help!
