Cool, always looking for good educational resources.

I used to do something very similar when I was learning CSS! Great work Sreekesh Iyer. 🙌

If I may ask, why are you a big advocate of plain CSS instead of frameworks?

Means a lot coming from you, Eleftheria. Thanks!

I don't hate frameworks, I've used tailwind in a lot of my projects because it gets things done quicker. I also like tailwind because it's low level, so the closest to actual CSS, so you get a ton of customisation.

I like to use plain CSS because I get to control the design of a website, which makes it look unique. When you use a framework for a long time, things start to get repetitive. For instance, I've seen the standard Bootstrap navbar in numerous ocassions, which doesn't look great.

Frameworks are great until they start restricting your vision :)

Congratulations on your work! Never imagined that IG has a connection with TechWorld, I need to explore this area in IG.Thanks for the motivation.

Thank you. I'm glad it sent the right message.
