Project 1: Expanding Cards - My '50 Projects in 50 Days' Journey

This is the project 1 / 50 showcase, from the course "50 Projects in 50 Days", although I've finished all the projects in the past 50 days (or slightly more!), I wanted to do them in my way, I mean taking the main idea or the main concept of the project and understanding it properly, and seeing its pros, cons, and even taking it into the next level.

In this project, the main idea was about creating a number of cards (or panels) that expand on click, just that simple, but I got a ton of other stuff to implement here like:

  • Using the Popover API to expand the panel rather than a mouse click.
  • Fetching Images from Unsplash API.
  • Making the panels interactive with mouse movements.
  • Adding a Reflection beneath each panel using webkit-box-reflect.
  • Adding a Colored Shadow to each panel (using SVG Filter).

After implementing those things, this project moved into next level, that shows complexity in simplicity alongside the aesthetics, maybe I could apply a color sampling functionality in future!.

I'd like to hear your opinions, suggestions, thoughts, also don't forget to like & follow.
