My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• SCSS
• CSS custom properties
• CSS Grid
• CSS Flex

What I learned

• build this project using SCSS which i am still learning
• learned about nesting, variables, mixins and some basic stuff about SCSS
• discovered that box-sizing property can fix padding related overflow issues
• applied the concept of variable for screen-size, in @media queries, reducing redundancy and enhancing code readability.

Code Highlights

• box-sizing fixed padding-overflow

  div {
      box-sizing: border-box;
      width: 100%;
      border-radius: 0.5rem;
      display: flex;
      flex-wrap: wrap;
      justify-content: space-between;
      align-items: center;
  }

• use variables for writing screen-size in @media-queries

  $screen-size: 30rem;
  
  @media (min-width: $screen-size) {
      > div {
        padding: 1.5rem;
      }
    }
    @media (max-width: $screen-size) {
      > div {
        padding: 1rem;
      }
    }
