url-shortening-api-master (vanillia css/js)

This is very nice solution. I'm impressed that you managed to do it with vanilla html and CSS.

I woud, however, caution against straying from the design when implementing such challenges. It's an interesting test of your attention to detail when you attempt to get the final application to look as close to the design as possible.

These are some of the areas I've identified where you strayed from the design:

1. Some button and links hover states are incorrect
2. The font sizes and whitespaces are not as per design
3. The hero image is quite small compared to the design

Additionally, I'd look into disabling the button when call to the url shortening is in progress. I found myself mistakenly clicking the button twice. It would also help to have some kind of loading indicator.

I'm sure you can find some more. I suggest that you look throught the design again while paying close attention to the whitespace, hover and active stetes.

You have an impressive grasp of CSS and I'm sure you'll benefit from the challenge!

Looks pretty good. Preview is working for me. Nice responsiveness! the only thing I would consider improving is the error handling for the form input.

For example, the first time a user enters your website and wants to shorten a link they see a box.

How come, even when the user does not enter anything (simply just focusing or clicking on the input) to type something.. they are already presented with an error?😅

I understand you want to emphasize to them that they should put a link but the user didn't even start typing yet.

That's what labels and placeholders are for. You already have a placeholder (that is good!)

Instead, It would be better to show the same error when the user enters an input that is not valid (not a valid link). Not before.

Preview is broken ! If someone can help me to fix it ?
