  Hi, well done!

  Some of the things I like about your solution:

  • Including a proper CSS Reset
  • Use of Custom Properties for colors, typography and spacing
  • Font sizes in rem instead of px, which is vital for accessibility.

  All of these are things that 90% of people miss out on, so great work!

  A few suggestions:

  HTML:

  • I would wrap the card in a <div class="card"> inside of <main>. The <main> holds all of the main content on a page. Since a card is rarely the only component on a page, it makes sense to have it in its own <div>.

  • The alt text must also say where it leads(the frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."

  • I would change the heading to a <h2> - a page should only have one <h1>, reserved for the main heading. As this is a card heading, it would likely not be the main heading on a page with several components.

  CSS:

  • I would add 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Remove height: 100% on html, body, and instead use min-height: 100svh on the body.

  • Instead of setting a fixed width, we want the card to grow and shrink according to the viewport. However, we do want to limit the width of the card, so it doesn't get too wide on larger screens. To solve these issues, change width to max-width: 20rem.

  • letter-spacing should not be in px. You can use em, where 1em equals the element's font size.

  • Instead of writing .card .text, I would just write .text ,as the former creates more specificity than needed.

  Kepp up the good work :)

  I see in your code that sometimes you have sth like this: 0.9375rem;

  I encourage you to set a font-size on html to 62.5%. Then one rem is equal 10px. After this your calculations would be easier because you would know that one 1rem = 10px

  html {
  font-size: 62.5% // It means that 1rem = 10px. From this it is easier to use rem
  }
  
  p {
  font-size: 1.6rem; // Here this paragraph font-size will be 16px;
  }
  

  Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗

  Good job and keep going 😁😊😉
