• Play the audio file for a word when it's available
• Switch between serif, sans serif, and monospace fonts
• Switch between light and dark themes
• View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
• See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• Mobile-first workflow
• Component Driven Development
• SolidJS
• TailwindCSS

What I learned

I don't really learn anything, I wanted to test this with HTML and Go but in order to submit the challenge I had to use an site that frontend mentor can check. So I tried to deploy an go web app to these sites without success, so I decided to use SolidJS and TailwindCSS and deploy to Vercel.
