## My process
### Built with
- Semantic HTML5 markup
- Sass
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- CSS Grid
### What I learned
I'm not convinced that the 13px font size specified in the style guide is correct. I settled on 13.25px in the end.
I used a lot of hardcoded measurements for widths, which I'm not proud of.
Animating the state change in the footer was the biggest challenge. The Javascript was pretty straightforward:
```js
function onClick() {
var thisItem = document.getElementById('footer');
thisItem.classList.toggle("active");
};
```
Positioning the hovering share section on desktop was tricky. Again, I had to hardcode a px measurement, which makes me feel all kinds of icky.
### Continued development
It's not fully responsive; I hardcoded two widths for the card. Animating the share section into view would be nice.
### Useful resources
- [Bubbler – CSS Speech Bubble Generator](https://www.ilikepixels.co.uk/bubbler/) - This helped me get the ::after element on the hovering share section correct.
