🎨 Palette: Accessibility enhancement for external links
💡 What
Explicitly notify screen reader users when external links open in a new tab/window across
IconLink(src/components/icon-link.tsx),Social(src/components/social.tsx), andSectionItemCard(src/components/section-item-card.tsx).🎯 Why
When users navigating with screen readers focus on external links (such as project links, publication links, social profile buttons, or experience cards), they were not informed that navigating the link would open a new tab. Providing
(opens in a new tab)notices follows WCAG guidelines and improves interface predictability.♿ Accessibility
