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

Some of my favorite code to write was an entire modal class with custom properties and methods. A message, title, image and button text can be used to create a custom popup using two different methods. The prompt method can be used to prompt the user for input while the confirm method solely serves as a message to the user. Once created, a modal can be passed a function to execute upon a positive event, or another function that execute upon a negative event.

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

Later into the implementation stage of development, an issue with CSS was encountered that prevented animating the opacity of a button element with a gradient background. My solution was to render the button positioned absolutely over a div element with the gradient background. Upon hovering, the button's background is transitioned to transparent therefor giving the intended effect.

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

In future projects I would like to get more experience creating mobile friendly designs as well as leveraging existing libraries to solve problems and create seamless applications. In passing, I would appreciate understanding how to vertically align bullet points with their parent text.
