What I learned

I learned more about the use of the grid and flexbox. I also learned how to use the toggle function in javascript. I also learned how to use the :before and :after pseudo elements. I also learned how to use the transform property in css.

<h1>Some HTML code I'm proud of</h1>

.active .arrow-icon {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

for (i = 0; i < acc.length; i++) {
  // Loop through all accordion buttons and add event listeners to them
  acc[i].addEventListener("click", function () {
    // When the user clicks on an accordion button, toggle between hiding and showing the active panel
    // Close the current active panel
    if (currentPanel && currentPanel != this.nextElementSibling) {
      currentPanel.style.maxHeight = null;
      currentPanel.previousElementSibling.classList.remove("active");
    }

Continued development
