This PR adds a "Skip to content" link to the portfolio website, which is a standard accessibility best practice for single-page applications with many navigation items.

Key Changes:

  • Accessibility: Added a visually hidden (until focused) link at the very top of the document that allows keyboard users to bypass the banner and header navigation and jump directly to the main content.
  • Semantics: Moved the Intro (hero) component inside the <main> tag in src/app/page.tsx. This ensures that skipping to content actually takes the user to the start of the meaningful content on the page.
  • Focus Management: Added id="main-content" and tabIndex={-1} to the <main> element to ensure that focus is correctly moved and handled when the skip link is used.
  • Journaling: Added an entry to .Jules/palette.md reflecting on the importance of skip links in SPAs.

Verification:

  • Verified that the skip link appears on the first Tab press.
  • Verified that triggering the link moves focus to the #main-content area.
  • Ran pnpm lint and pnpm build to ensure no regressions.
  • Captured a screenshot of the focused skip link.
