🎨 Aurora: [Project Card Glow Enhancement]#89
Conversation
💡 What: Added an animated gradient blur behind the project card image containers. 🎯 Why: The project cards felt a bit flat. This provides visual depth and a premium feel. ✨ Impact: Increases perceived value through a subtle hover micro-interaction without breaking layout structure. ♿ Accessibility: No negative impact. Uses existing purely visual design system classes. Co-authored-by: amar-295 <233091910+amar-295@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR enhances the ProjectCard UI by adding a blurred gradient “glow” layer behind the project image area to create a glassmorphism-like hover effect and increased visual depth.
Changes:
- Wrapped the ProjectCard image column in a
relative groupcontainer. - Added an absolutely-positioned blurred gradient background layer behind the image container.
- Kept existing image hover scale interaction, now driven by the outer
grouphover state.

The new absolute glow element is positioned on the entire image column wrapper (which also contains the mobile-only buttons). Because positioned elements with default z-index paint above in-flow content, this overlay can sit on top of the buttons on small screens (hurting contrast and potentially blocking clicks). Consider scoping the glow to a wrapper around just the image container, or explicitly placing it behind content (e.g., negative z-index) and making it non-interactive (pointer-events-none). Since it’s purely decorative, also mark it aria-hidden="true".

57-59: Light mode gradient uses identical start/end colors.The dark mode gradient transitions between two distinct colors (
from-primary-blue/30 to-teal-400/30), creating an actual gradient effect. However, the light mode usesfrom-accent-dark/20 to-accent-dark/20— the same color on both ends — resulting in a solid tinted blur rather than a gradient.If this is intentional for a subtler light mode appearance, the implementation is fine. If a gradient effect is desired in light mode as well, consider using two different accent shades.
♻️ Optional: Add gradient variation for light mode
