My process

Built with

• Plain JavaScript
• Tailwind CSS
• Flexbox

What I learned

• Set up project with parcel and tailwind source
• Don't override the font size, this leads to a lot of custom classes in tailwind like mb-[2.6rem]

  html {
      font-size: 62.5%; /* 10px */
  }
  

• Make a border with color gradient

  .form-input:active,
  .form-input:focus,
  .form-input:hover,
  .form-input:not(:placeholder-shown) {
      background:
              linear-gradient(white, white) padding-box,
              linear-gradient(to bottom, #6348FE, #610595) border-box;
      opacity: 1;
      border: 1px solid transparent;
  }

Continued development

• Tailwind CSS
• Develop mobile first, since Tailwind's approach is more mobile first
