The nutrition label

HTML-CSS
1

I just wrapped up “Nutrition Label” workspace, and I have to say: it was hands-down the worst experience I’ve had on the platform. The exercise dragged on for what felt like forever, with repetitive steps that did little to improve my skills or yield a meaningful result. I spent way too much time adding and styling tiny <p> and <span> elements, only to end up with a label that looks exactly like they intended from the start.

On top of that, I struggled endlessly trying to decode the cryptic “puzzles”—i.e., the vague task descriptions—to actually find the elements they wanted me to target. It felt like busywork rather than real-world skill-building.

Rather than helping me understand real-world front-end challenges, this workflow felt like busywork—and it certainly didn’t prepare me for what actual client projects look like. If you’re short on time or hoping to build tangible, creative interfaces, I recommend skipping this one and moving on to more practical, outcome-driven lessons.

And I wasn’t even using my favorite IDE—which auto-completes and closes tags for you, copies code, and lets you move lines around with ease.

It would help if you would share which steps you found ‘cryptic’ and why. It’s hard to fix anything without specifics.

I consider every Workshop in the course as a project which I could use to practice my code-analyzing ability.
That means I do not have to exactly copy the coding style or some specific ways that the workshop displayed how to write.
I always try to learn something from it such as thinking about advantages and disadvantages of the codes and the reasons why some codes can be written like that and why some elements with specific CSS rules will behave like that.
Kind of like experience growing you know! :thinking:
By the way,the workshop is just for you to following it, not exactly do it yourself like Labs,even though Labs provide hints of the DIY project.
