Design comparison
Solution retrospective
I had attempted this challenge some time ago as a skills refresher challenge. I was a little rusty and decided not to upload the original. When I found this project again I notice how unresponsive the application was (slightly resizing the screen resulted in the contents becoming extremely narrow). As a result, I challenged myself to make it as responsive as possible for different devices with minimal to zero keyframes. I believe I did well based on my self imposed limitations.

Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…
-
I think you could benefit from a plugin on VS code called Prettier, It will format your code make it more easily readable.

Using
font-display: swap
in your@font-face
rule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear. -
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

While
px
is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-width
,border-radius
,inline-padding
, and<img>
sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, usingpx
for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units likerem
and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepx
where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.
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! 🌟
