AuraNav — Accessible Navigation System
Production-grade, fully accessible responsive navigation architecture built with Astro and Tailwind CSS v4.
Responsive navigation system engineered with strict TypeScript and Tailwind CSS v4, featuring WCAG-compliant keyboard traversal, animated hamburger-to-X transitions via group-aria-expanded, and zero runtime overhead.

The Problem & Intended Users
Many modern navigation components break screen reader semantics, trap keyboard focus, or introduce bloated client JavaScript frameworks for simple menu toggles.
Architecture & Implementation Decisions
Built mobile-first Astro markup with Tailwind v4 variant modifiers, strict TypeScript state handlers (`scripts/navbar.ts`), Escape key listeners, outside-click detection, and aria-expanded synchronization.
Technical Architecture Pipeline:
Component-driven Astro architecture (`Navbar.astro`, `Layout.astro`, `navbar.ts`) with typed navigation arrays (`NavLink[]`), producing 100% static HTML/CSS/JS without framework bloat.
Source-Verified Capabilities
Measurable Results & Delivery
Lightweight, zero-runtime-overhead navigation system passing strict accessibility audits with seamless keyboard navigation.
