Worked on the ankitects/anki-landing-page repository, delivering a series of UI and UX enhancements focused on accessibility, maintainability, and responsive design. Over five months, refactored key components such as the navigation bar, Downloads section, and Testimonials, introducing modern CSS techniques, container queries, and scalable theming with CSS variables. Leveraged Svelte, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS to streamline component structure, improve cross-device visuals, and align with accessibility standards. The work included removing deprecated components, consolidating dropdown behavior, and implementing metadata-driven layouts, resulting in a cleaner codebase and a more engaging, accessible landing page optimized for both users and future development.
July 2025: Focused UI/Styling Overhaul for Anki Landing Page. Delivered a comprehensive refactor of styling and component structure to enhance visuals and responsiveness: refactored CSS variables for scalable theming, removed unused components (e.g., AdvantageCard), and refreshed the navigation bar, hero, and section layouts. Result: cleaner, more maintainable codebase and a stronger first impression on visitors. No major bugs reported; the work emphasized stability and polish during a design-led iteration. Key outcomes include improved cross-device visuals, simpler theming, and a foundation for faster iteration on UI enhancements.
