Over four months, João Costa contributed to the Frontify/fondue repository by developing and refining UI components with a focus on accessibility, interaction reliability, and maintainability. He enhanced the Button component’s visual feedback using CSS-in-JS and utility classes, modernized tooling through dependency and ESLint upgrades, and improved Table accessibility by correcting ARIA roles and updating test logic. João also introduced the Dropdown forceMount prop, ensuring robust outside-click handling and comprehensive Playwright end-to-end test coverage. Working primarily with TypeScript, React, and JavaScript, his work addressed both user experience and technical debt, resulting in more stable, accessible, and testable frontend components.
