Thank you for posting this as I've looked into Frontend Mentor and their content (especially challenges) to help with improving my front end development skills. I have also found accessibility to be very important to me personally so kudos to that!!😎

As for a framework, I have experience in React only; mind you, I have read that Vue is very popular and easy to learn and its popularity has risen a lot over the past couple years; React was invented by Facebook so it has great documentation and has been around for a while and is still used a lot. I have taken a break from learning React though because my vanilla Javascript skills aren't that good; definitely have a good grasp of basic vanilla JS as well as ES6/7features, arrow functions, promises, and asynchronous operation. If you do, then you should be able to pick up React quickly. React is tricky but I feel if you know those particular areas of JS well, then React will be easy for you and lots of jobs want people who can use React. That is just from my personal experience; I am definitely no authority on these technologies, but I hope that helps some with deciding a library or framework to learn. Thanks again for the insightful post, good luck on everything!! 😁

Thank you so much for the suggestion! My first choice is actually React, since many employers do look for this particular skill. The developer community over at Frontend Mentor's Slack has told me Vue is a good starting point for beginners like me, so I might try that first before eventually trying out React! 🙂
