My process

Built with

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

What I learned

I work with CSS custom properties and intervals from JS.

:root {
  --grayish-blue: hsl(237, 18%, 59%);
  --soft-red: hsl(345, 95%, 68%);
}

And intervals with JavaScript

let myInterval = setInterval(()  => ...)
