Solution retrospective

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

Thanks to the experience gained in previous projects, this design went quite smoothly. I started with a mobile view and then used media queries to expand the container to tablet and computer.

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

This is the first time I have used rem units to set the font size. I found the online unit calculator useful for this: https://nekocalc.com/px-to-rem-converter

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

Please review the entire code and check if there are places where it can be improved, written differently or to get rid of errors at different resolutions

    If you want to make your card responsive with ease you can use this technique:

    .card {
width: 90%;
max-width: 37.5rem;
}

    On the smaller screens card will be 90% of the parent (here body), but as soon as the card will be 37.5rem (600px) it will lock with this size.

    Also to put the card in the center I advise you to use this code snippet:

    .container {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}

    Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗

    Good job and keep going 😁😊😉

    Awesome job tackling this challenge! You’re doing amazing, and I wanted to share a couple of suggestions that might help refine your approach…

    • Using a <main> tag inside the <body> of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content.

    • I would put these into a <ul> <li>, and the text should be wrapped with a <a> so it is accessible with a keyboard using the tab key, Using an <a> tag for navigation is semantically correct, improves accessibility for screen readers, and ensures consistent behavior across browsers, unlike a <button> or a <div> not intended for links.

    • Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

    • Line height is usually unitless to scale proportionally with the font size, keeping text readable across different devices. Best practice is to use a unitless value like 1.5 for flexibility. Avoid using fixed units like px or %, as they don't adapt well to changes in font size or layout.

    • Developers should avoid using pixels (px) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, use rem or em, which are relative units that adjust based on user settings, making your design more flexible, responsive, and accessible. For more information check out this, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels or this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained.- Another great resource for px to rem converter.

    You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟
