My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• TailwindCSS
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• BEM
• CUBE CSS

What I learned

• Aligning flow items in an individual grid square
• Aligning flow items in all grid squares
• Aligning a grid

Continued development

• CUBE CSS - Grouping

Useful resources

• Difference between aling-items and align-content in CSS Grid - This allowed me to differentiate between aligning items(align-items) in a grid square and aligning the whole grid (align-content). It also went into how to align inside a single grid square.

• Aspect ratio - Allowed me to only provide a width for the rating circles, and the height was calculated automatically

• tabindex - used to indicate that an element can be focused.

• Get the Index of a Child node using JavaScript - the main highlight of the article is on indexes, but what I found really usedful is the Array.from() static method that allowed me to use highter order functions on an array consisting of HTML elements.
