## My process

Built Mobile first, then expanded to Tablet and then Desktop.

At each stage I was checking how my build looked compared to the design in Polypane. (I generated images from Figma) I did try a little to get it close to "pixel perfect", which I do know I shouldn't :) As Grace on Slack would note don't try, and shared this [article](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/pixel-perfection/) by Josh Comeau.

I actually finished the build 5 days ago, but wasn't happy with how it handled responsively in the between sides. I stalled and then today realised I could have `margin-inline: auto` for the mobile to tablet size, and then use `justify-content: center` for tablet to desktop. So now it looks "reasonable" between. I did try breaking earlier to the desktop sizings but decided to leave it at 1440px / 90rem.

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- Mobile-first workflow

### What I learned

Really it was mostly using `picture` and `source` tags properly. I tried to use `img srcset` but just couldn't get the following to work as I understood the docs to say.

```
<img src="assets/logo-dark.svg" srcset="
        assets/image-hero-mobile.png 435w,
        assets/image-hero-tablet.png 695w,
        assets/image-hero-desktop.png 1046w" sizes="
              (max-width: 767px) 87vw,
              (max-width: 1439px) 83vw,
              (max-width: 2000px) 870px,
              1000px"
          alt="Woman blowing onto a mug. Top right of her is a box indicating 29k Members. On the bottom right is a box indicating 1,451 Course Hours."
          class="">
```
