In this mini-project, I will show you how to create an animated counter that counts up to any number using JavaScript with HTML & CSS.

<header>
			<h1>Animated Counter</h1>
		</header>
		<section class="counters">
			<div class="container">
				<div>
					<i class="fab fa-youtube fa-4x"></i>
					<div class="counter" data-target="60000">0</div>
					<h3>Subscribers</h3>
				</div>
				<div>
					<i class="fab fa-twitter fa-4x"></i>
					<div class="counter" data-target="15000">0</div>
					<h3>Followers</h3>
				</div>
				<div>
					<i class="fab fa-facebook fa-4x"></i>
					<div class="counter" data-target="9000">0</div>
					<h3>Likes</h3>
				</div>
				<div>
					<i class="fab fa-linkedin fa-4x"></i>
					<div class="counter" data-target="5000">0</div>
					<h3>Connections</h3>
				</div>
			</div>
