Interactive rating component JS

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

I'm proud to have tackled my first JavaScript project! It wasn't easy. I've done a course on "conversant" JS so I had some notions of how to go about this task (for instance, with a if/else statement), but not with much confidence. After some research, I found my starting points and began using AI (Copilot) to assist me in tackling the problem-solving. While I didn't write my Javascript 'blindly' (as I would with CSS), I was able to gather a code block that I could understand and that got the task done. I feel initiated into using small Javascript components to achieve some interactivity on otherwise static sites.

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

The challenge was really with Javascript. I learnt about event listeners for the first time, saw callback functions in action, declared variables to use later and used some methods. AI was really helpful in being a tool to demystify the ways that I could approach this task and with small but sure steps, I made progress over time.

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

I would love some help with box-shadow for this challenge. I don't have the Figma file, so I'm guessing how it's been designed, but I really couldn't put my finger on it. Mine doesn't perfectly match the design. Can anyone show me how the code should look? You can particularly see my struggle on the thank-you state.

Secondly, please check that my Javascript makes sense and if there's anyway to simplify it, do let me know.

Thirdly, I always welcome Sass critique. I'm going for streamlined simplicity if I can. I have some comments in there of things I think could be improved, but further thoughts are welcome.
