Worked on the TEIC/TEI repository to enhance footnote interactions and accessibility in a front end context. Addressed a bug where footnote links displayed incorrect content by implementing event-driven rendering with JavaScript, ensuring each popup matched the clicked reference. Refactored popup logic for efficiency and maintainability, consolidating code and improving readability. Focused on accessibility by introducing robust focus management, ARIA-friendly interactions, and a button-based close control that returns focus to the triggering link. Utilized CSS and JavaScript to streamline user experience, reduce race conditions, and align with inclusive design best practices, resulting in more reliable and accessible footnote popups.
