My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• BEM naming convention
• Vue.js framework

What I learned

• Performant color animations using opacity and pseudo elements
• Centering using display: grid; and place-items: center;
• Styling radio inputs
• Frontend Mentor worflow and GitHub pages
• Vue form input binding with v-model

Continued development

• Rating buttons might be a good candidate for their own component.
• Mobile-first design - adding complexity for desktop rather than removing it for mobile

Useful resources

• Create more peformant color animations using the CSS opacity property - More performance background-color animations using ::after and opacity.
• Kevin Powell on YouTube - Various tips, tricks and guides.
• Andy Bell's Modern CSS Reset - Used some snippets
