Andrew Clark enhanced the TEIC/TEI repository by improving footnote interaction and accessibility in a focused two-month engagement. He refactored the popup footnote logic using JavaScript and CSS, ensuring that popups trigger reliably on link clicks and that content always matches the selected reference. His event-driven approach reduced race conditions and improved debugging by switching to event.currentTarget and adding fallback warnings. Andrew also prioritized accessibility, implementing robust focus management for screen readers and a button-based close control that returns focus to the triggering link. These changes streamlined the user experience and improved code maintainability for front end development workflows.
