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

I like how overall finished project looks as i tried to keep it as faithful to the design as possible. I'm also happy with CSS structure, i think it's pretty clean and readable.

Next time i would maybe want to use something like TailwindCSS but for now i think that writing styles from scratch is good for expanding on my CSS knowledge.

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

In previous challenges majority of my time was spent on figuring out design details like: padding, margins, gaps, line heights etc.

This time i decided to go with Figma file provided with the challenge and it was huge time saver and helped me focus on writing code.

Hello Michał, how are you? I was really pleased with your project, but I’d like to offer some advice that might help:

To enhance the semantics of your code, consider using a <ul> (unordered list) for the collection of links, as it represents a list of related items. Here's an example:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">GitHub</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Frontend Mentor</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">LinkedIn</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Twitter</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Instagram</a></li>
</ul>

Using a <ul> provides clear structure and context, signaling to both browsers and assistive technologies that these links are part of a cohesive group, improving both accessibility and readability.

The rest is spot on.

Hope it’s helpful to you. 👍
