My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• SCSS
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid

What I learned

• I learned that I can't use scss variables directly to the :root selector in css but there is a way which I discovered.
• I learned that I can hide a whole section by using window.addEventListener targeting the load event
• To see how you can add code snippets, see below:

@use "../utils" as util;

:root {
  --primary-color: #{util.$primaryColor};
  --secondary-color: #{util.$secondaryColor};
  --tertiary-color: #{util.$tertiaryColor};
  --grey-color: #{util.$greyColor};
  --another-color: #{util.$anotherColor};
}

window.addEventListener("load", (event) => {
  successContainer.style.display = "none";
});

If you want more help with writing markdown, we'd recommend checking out The Markdown Guide to learn more.

I also watched the full tutorial of Coder Coder, for me to familiarize the basic and fundamentals of SCSS.

Continued development

I will definitely should focus learning vanilla javascript and SCSS since I'm new to SCSS in order for me to be proficient of it and for future technical interviews.

Useful resources

• Imagecolorpicker - This helped me for getting the exact color to be used in the project. I really liked how convenient it is to grab the colors of an image.
• MDN Web Docs - Helped me a lot finding the right terms and usage of events in javascript and also css properties to declare.
• ChatGPT - Helped me with some vanilla javascripting since I forgot already what I learned back when I was studying javascript.
