Solution retrospective

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

It's quite close to the original, so that's what I'm proud of.

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

I did not know about the hover state property. So I had to take help from ChatGPT to learn and implement it into my code.

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

How could I use Flexbox more in my code or other related responsive elements?

Also, I would love some feedback on how I might be able to use more relative measuring units like em and rem in my code efficiently.

    hi there! 👋👋

    You should avoid hard-coded values (pixels) most of the time. When you use these values you give up responsiveness(or you make it harder for yourself at least)..

    Typically you will increase the font-size property with @media queries. If you have hard-coded values all over your CSS, you need to modify every element's font-size. On the other hand, if you use rem-s all you need to do is changing the font-size in your CSS :root selector and all your elements will have a new size based on that value.

    I usually use em for padding and margin for text-based elements, since their margin usually based on their font-size, and again, when you change the font-size in :root these values will scale up as well without you touching them, making your job easier and your page maintainable.

    If you are not familiar with the :root selector it's usually used to set custom properties that you can apply later.

    Hope this helped 🙏

    Good luck and happy coding! 💪

    @kodan96 really appreciate your response and feedback. Quite helpful, indeed. I will for sure be more mindful in my future projects about this.

    Thank you so much!
