## Overview

### The challenge

The challenge is to create a visually appealing illustration of a chat app interface using HTML and CSS. The component should provide
- View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size.
- A bonus would be to add animation to the chat interface upon initial load.

### How to setup the project

To set up the project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository using GitHub Desktop or Git Bash:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SartHak-0-Sach/chat-app-css-illustration_frontend_project.git
```
2. Open the project folder in your code editor.
3. Run the project using a live server extension or deploy it using Netlify, Vercel, or another web hosting and deployment service.

## My process

### Built with

- HTML5
- CSS3

You will find all the required assets in the `/images` folder. The assets are already optimized.

There is also a `style-guide.md` file containing the information you'll need, such as color palette and fonts.

### What I learned

To make this project successfully, one needs to have a mastery in commmand over CSS, as placing every element precisely at desired place and that too made responsive for all screen sizes is not at all easy, such as design of mobile as shown-

```
.mobile_top-part {
position: relative;
display: flex;
align-items: flex-end;
gap: 4.4rem;
height: 4.2rem;
overflow-y: hidden;

background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(136, 56, 255, 1) 20%, rgba(233, 66, 255, 1) 90%);
border-radius: 20px 20px 5px 5px;
}

.mobile_top-part_notch {
background: var(--White);
position: absolute;
top: -0.65rem;
position: absolute;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
left: 0;
right: 0;
text-align: center;
border-radius: .8rem;
width: 8rem;
height: 1.8rem;
}
```

### Continued development

The continuously learning journey of a programmer never ends. This project made me realize that there are many concepts that I need to work upon including fundamentals like flex-box and its properties, to more complex concepts like working with fetch and async await in javascript. These areas are some that I think I need to work more upon in the upcoming future as they highlight some of the most significant regions of web development that are important for every developer to know of.

These key points mentioned here will help me grow accountable and consistent towards improving at writing good quality code and be a successful full stack developer one day.

### Useful resources

- [Harkirat Singh course notes](https://github.com/SartHak-0-Sach/harkirat-singh-course_code_and_notes) - I have added notes of all lectures along with code and lecture insights of all weeks along with bonus lectures to help you all as much as I can.
- [My development code and notes](https://github.com/SartHak-0-Sach/cwh-web-dev-playlist_code_and_notes) - These are my notes that I made while working on my development skills in initial days and did these courses. Make sure to star the repository if you like it.✨💫
- [mdn documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function) - This is an amazing article which helped me finally understand promises, async and await syntax. I'd recommend it to anyone still learning this concept.
