Alrigh after a bit of a break I’m back at coding!

Still working on the basics.

Today I built a measuring unit converter with HTML, CSS, and JS. It’s a nice little exercise to practice all the three of them.

I can actually build the HTML well and the JS works as well, but I find it difficult to make the CSS look really good. I guess design is really something that one needs to learn about almost as a separate discipline

My Code

Anyways, with that said here is my converter!
