My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow
• React - JS library

What I learned

I used this opportunity to practice my ReactJs knowledge and also CSS Custom-Properties. I managed to do all CSS responsiveness with only CSS Custom Properties and I really liked it. it felt amazing to only change a couple of things and Voila! now it works both in mobile mode and also desktop mode.

Continued development

I definitely would want to cut off some of my repeated code and also reach the goal with much fewer lines of code. Maybe I have to try using useRef, but that was not something I intended for this challenge.
