💡 What

Added keyboard navigation support to the ProjectCard component by adding role="button", tabIndex={0}, a custom onKeyDown event handler, and focus-visible styling.

🎯 Why

The ProjectCard component uses a generic motion.div as a clickable card surface, making it completely inaccessible to users navigating via keyboard. They were previously unable to focus or trigger the card's action to view project details or navigate to the GitHub repository.

📸 Before/After

Before: The card would not receive focus when tabbing through the page.
After: The card receives a prominent primary-colored focus ring and can be triggered with Enter or Space without double-triggering nested elements.

♿ Accessibility

  • Added role="button" and tabIndex={0} to surface the interactive element to screen readers.
  • Added aria-label describing the interactive element.
  • Added keyboard interactivity on Enter/Space using onKeyDown.
  • Prevented double-firing on nested links by checking e.target.tagName.
  • Added a focus-visible ring using existing design token colors.

The interactive project card component lacked keyboard navigation support. This commit adds `role="button"`, `tabIndex={0}`, an `onKeyDown` handler to respond to Enter and Space keys (preventing Space scrolling), and a `focus-visible` styling ring. It also explicitly ignores key events originating from nested native interactive elements (like the 'Source' and 'npm' links) to prevent double-triggering actions.
