I like your point and explanation about styling :focus states differently. I had seen similar examples (probably while googling a related problem) and took away that :focus and :active states are meant to be styled together. I hadn't thought to question why those two states are distinct. This seems like an easy/fast way to start incorporating accessibility into our initial builds, and a great cue to read up on those pseudo-classes!

Thanks, Jack. Yeah, it’s definitely something that seems obvious in hindsight, but something that isn’t seen that regularly on the web.

Glad that was useful :)
