I started by first structuring the html file and then moved on to add CSS in my index.css file. To make it mobile compatible I didn't use any media queries instead just made use of flexbox wherever needed as I find it more convinient. To add the functionality of timer, I made use of VanillaJS.

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

While developing this challenge, I refreshed my knowledge about CSS flexbox and grid. I learned about CSS gradients and how to leverage svg images.

I added svg image with HTML tags instead of using them as background image in order to change the fill property on hover:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24">
  <path
    id="insta"
    fill="#8385A9"

I want to explore CSS animations and transforms much more so that I could compelete the bonus challenge of flipping the card when the value changes.

• Understand CSS-Flexbox and Grid - This helped me for understanding Grids and flexbox in a better and now they makes a lot more sense to me. I really liked this platform and will use it to learn some more concepts.
