Project cards as a map
The project page is a small map of the archive rather than a portfolio wall. Each card points to a durable section, a metadata resource or a document that explains the section in plain language.
Cards are intentionally short. Their job is to help a reader choose a path, while the article pages carry the longer explanation and the JSON files carry compact machine-readable summaries.
This split keeps the first screen readable on a phone and still gives the site enough depth for manual inspection.
