What I learned

Being that I'm still learning, I wasn't aware of how I could make a radio input look like a button. Thankfully, I was able to get some ideas from youtube and stackoverflow.

Here is my solution:

input[type="radio"] {
  position: relative;
  left: 30px;
  display: none;
}

label {
  color: hsl(217, 12%, 63%);
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border-radius: 50px;
  background-color: hsla(216, 12%, 54%, 0.088);
}

label:hover {
    background-color: hsl(25, 97%, 53%);
    color: white;
    transition: 0.5s;
    cursor:pointer;
}

input:checked + label {
  background-color: hsla(216, 12%, 54%, 0.686);
  color: white;
}

Continued development

I look forward to expanding my knowledge in javascript functionality which I believe is my weakest skill in coding at the moment.
