I encountered some challenges in the process of building this project prompting me to ask the following questions.

How can I make the EVERY content in a flex container to have equal sizes no matter the content that they hold?

Someone should please explain to me why every padding on the main works perfectly on chrome but behaves funny in Firefox when on a wider screen.

    Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉

    Welcome to the platform! 🎉 We're thrilled to have you here and excited to see your progress 💪as you continue your front-end development journey.

    Nice attempt :)

    • One way to make every content in a flex container have equal sizes, regardless of the content they hold, you may use the flex property with a value of 1 on the flex items. This will distribute the available space equally among the items.
    .container {
display: flex;
}

.item {
flex: 1;
}

    • This approach will only work if there is enough space available in the container to accommodate all the items with equal sizes. If the content inside the items is larger than the available space, the items may overflow or wrap to the next line.

    • It looks same, for me on chrome and firefox.

    In my projects:

    • I always start with mobile-first workflow.
    • I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
    <body>
<main>
All content 
</main>
</body>

    • I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

    • If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project. Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals, make few projects only with the trio and then move on to any framework or library.

    • I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:

    📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.

    📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with important topics like block and inline elements, HTML Semantic Elements.

    I hope you find these resources somewhat helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞

    I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻

    Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨
