What I learned

Fist I tried to solve the image hover state by using z-index, but it didn't work out due to unexpected behaviour, at least for me as of now - some weird flashing occured.

Then I learned the hard way that there is a big difference in setting opacity:

.div {
  opacity: 0.5;
}

and

.div {
  background-color: hsl(178, 100%, 50%, 0.45);
}

I find this challenge very useful for me.

Continued development

I need to practice a lot to get faster.

Useful resources

When deciding how to make the horizontal line - with <hr> element or a <div> I checked out these two pages:

• <hr>: The Thematic Break (Horizontal Rule) element on MDN
• How to make a horizontal line without using <hr> tag? - a nice summary on Stack Overflow (<hr>, <div>, pseudo class)
