What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
I'm proud to have successfully implemented the design to create a fully responsive QR code component. This project helped me sharpen my front-end development skills, particularly in using modern CSS techniques for layout and styling, as well as ensuring that the design adapts well across different screen sizes. I also effectively implemented accessibility features by keeping the text legible and ensuring the overall structure meets WCAG standards.
Next time, I would focus more on perfecting the alignment and spacing details to exactly match the design specifications. I’d also like to explore using CSS Grid for layout management rather than just Flexbox to see if it would offer a more precise way to handle alignment and responsiveness.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
Challenge 1: Centering and alignment issues One of the main challenges I faced was getting the text and elements to align exactly as shown in the design. Ensuring the design was pixel-perfect and responsive across different devices was a bit tricky. To overcome this, I spent time revisiting my CSS, experimenting with Flexbox properties, and using margin and padding adjustments to fine-tune the alignment. Testing across different screen sizes also helped me identify where adjustments were necessary.
Challenge 2: Ensuring responsiveness Another challenge was making sure the layout remained fully responsive while maintaining its design integrity. At first, the component didn’t scale well on smaller screen sizes. I resolved this by using media queries and setting flexible widths to ensure the design was fluid across various devices.
Challenge 3: Matching the design exactly Replicating the exact visual look from the design, especially with the spacing and font size, was more challenging than expected. I learned that even small differences in spacing or font-weight could drastically affect the final look. I overcame this by reviewing the design specifications more carefully and adjusting my CSS to reflect the correct value.
