My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• React - JS library
• Next.js - React framework

What I learned

1. As React.js is an improvement on JavaScript, I fully got to understand why Next.js is an improvement on React.js. I'm now a firm believer!
2. Got to use "place-content: center"; CSS property. I understand it's a shorthand property that combines the align-content and justify-content properties.
3. Introduced to the concept and benefits of storing text in markdown files rather than in JavaScript files.

Continued development

More Next.js projects. GraphQL projects too in the longer term.
