Milestones and iterations that keep this site evolving.

  1. Added keyboard shortcuts modal

    Launched quick navigation shortcuts and a modal so power users can jump between sections without reaching for the mouse.

    • Introduced the KeyboardNav modal with ? to surface available shortcuts.
    • Added instant navigation combos (g h, g b, g p) and t to toggle the color theme.
    • Ensured focus is restored correctly and modal closes on Escape for accessibility.
