Solution retrospective

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

I am very happy with the help that doing these projects provides, I feel that I improved a lot in covering details. If there is something I would improve it would be the way I apply sizes and measurements. Regarding the rest I am very happy. ❤

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

I had a little difficulty making the size of the card and the other elements as close to the project example without using pixels, so instead I used em and rem. In the end I was able to apply them after several tests with measures that I think could be improved for next time.

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

I would like help with the measures I applied, I'm not entirely sure if they are correct or if there are better ways to apply them.

    Hiya! 👋

    Congratulations on your solution, it looks very close to the design! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.

    Things you could improve ✍️

    • I suggest adding a bit of padding to your body element so the card has some space around it on smaller viewports.

    • You could add a min-height: 100vh to your body element so it takes up the full height of the viewport while still being able to grow when the content inside it grows.

    • Try experimenting with CSS variables, they help you make your CSS values more reusable across your code.

    • I suggest using clear descriptive CSS classes like .card, .card-title and .card-description.

    • Try using semantic HTML elements like main, section and article.

    • Try using using relative CSS units like rem and em they make your layout more adaptable.

    • Be careful with setting a fixed width and height on your elements. If the content in these elements grows beyond these restrictions you’ll run into overflow issues. Keeping the height at auto - which block elements are by default - will be fine in most cases.

    • You don’t have to wrap your image in a separate div, it’s possible to style it directly to achieve the same result.

    • Try centering your card using Flexbox instead of padding and margin.

    I hope you find my feedback helpful! 🌟

    Let me know if you have more questions and I'll do my best to answer them. 🙋‍♂️

    Happy coding! 😎
