March 2025: Delivered UI Layout Refactor and Accessibility Enhancement for NASA-IMPACT/veda-disasters, replacing a custom layout with USWDS utility classes to simplify structure and improve consistency. Implemented accessibility improvements by reintroducing tabIndex and fixed a footer layout bug to ensure the footer stays anchored at the bottom across viewports. These changes reduce technical debt, improve usability and accessibility, and establish a cleaner foundation for future enhancements. Commit: 6537e0fce8cc0a03c5366b92bd3db843e5850413.
