seo: fix crawlability, restructure site, and improve internal linking#166
Conversation
Root cause: skill cards used div+onClick instead of <a href>, leaving Google no crawl path to any skill subpage despite 19 pages existing. Changes: - BrowseTab: replace div+onClick cards with stretched cover-link pattern (absolute <a> beneath content div) so download/GitHub buttons remain valid anchors without nesting; add hash-based category URL sync via history.replaceState so /skills/#DeFi links land pre-filtered - Homepage (index.astro): restructure as static marketing page with category cards grid linking to /skills/#<category>; ItemList JSON-LD added via extraJsonLd so default WebSite graph is preserved - skills/index.astro: new hub page that mounts BrowseTab island; gives Google a canonical /skills/ entry point with crawlable card links - skills/[slug]/index.astro: add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, visible breadcrumb nav, related-skills grid, and prev/next skill navigation; pass prevUrl/nextUrl for <link rel="prev/next"> in <head> - BaseLayout: add extraJsonLd slot (second JSON-LD block), prevUrl/nextUrl props rendered as <link rel="prev/next"> - SiteLayout: make activeTab optional; simplify nav to 3 tabs (browse, how it works, get started); thread extraJsonLd/prevUrl/nextUrl through - astro.config.mjs: add lastmod: new Date() to sitemap integration

Problem
Google only indexed the homepage despite 19 skill pages existing. Root cause: skill cards used
div+onClickinstead of<a href>, leaving no crawlable path to skill subpages.Changes
Critical crawlability fix
div+onClickcards with a stretched cover-link pattern — an absolute-positioned<a href>sits beneath the card content so the entire card is crawlable without nesting anchors (which would make download/GitHub buttons invalid HTML). This supersedes feat: improve SEO by adding <a> to skills from main page #165, which used a similar CSS::afterapproach on the title anchor only.New
/skills/hub pagesrc/pages/skills/index.astro— gives Google a canonical entry point with all skill cards as real crawlable links; mounts BrowseTab as a Preact islandHomepage restructured as marketing page
src/pages/index.astrorewritten as a fully static page (no Preact island) — faster, crawlable from the start/skills/#<category>and shows up to 3 skill namesSkill page internal linking
