What I learned

1. Using CSS ::before selector

.card .card-img .card-img-container .view-icon::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  background: var(--cyan);
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: 15px;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease;
}

2. Using CSS transitions

.card .card-img .card-img-container .view-icon img {
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease;
}

.card .card-img .card-img-container .view-icon:hover img {
  opacity: 1;
}

3. Using CSS :hover selector

.card .card-img .card-img-container .view-icon::before {
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease;
}

.card .card-img .card-img-container .view-icon:hover:before {
  opacity: 0.5;
}

Continued development
