My process

Built with

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

What I learned

I learned how to apply styling based on the parent state using the Tailwind CSS 'group' modifier.

Here's an example:

<div className="group" id="my-card">
  <h2>Big Title</h2>
  <p>lorem ipsum something something...</p>
  <button className="group-hover:bg-green-600">click me</button>
</div>

When hovering the mouse over ANY part of the card, the background color of the inner button element will turn green.

Continued development

I may use an API to render multiple cards in a grid.

Useful resources

• Tailwind CSS - This helped me learn about the 'group' modifier.
