My process

Built with

  • Semantic HTML5 markup
  • CSS custom properties
  • Flexbox

What I learned

I did my best on the ui design of the chat app and the two body background colors. I learned the use of flexbox to style the chat app properly.

body::before{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    height: 730px;
    width: 475px;
    top: 0;
    left: -100px;
    background: var(--body-before-bg-gradient);
    border-bottom-right-radius: 400px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 400px;
    z-index: -1;
}

body::after{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    height: 730px;
    width: 470px;
    bottom: 0;
    right: -125px;
    background-color: var(--body-after-bg);
    border-top-right-radius: 190px;
    border-top-left-radius: 250px;
    z-index: -1;
}
