[Feature]: ✨ Enhance Navbar Design with Animations & Better Spacing

[SrinjoyeeDey]

Problem statement

The current navbar, while functional and professional, has limited interactivity and suboptimal spacing. Users may face navigation challenges due to:

🧩 Cluttered layout with uneven spacing between elements

✨ Minimal hover effects that aren’t visually engaging

🎞️ Lack of subtle animations to enhance interactivity

🎨 Inconsistent styling across buttons and toggles

Impact:

These limitations reduce overall user experience, making the interface feel static and less engaging. Enhancing the navbar with better spacing, animations, and hover effects will:

👀 Improve readability and clarity

🎯 Increase user engagement and interactivity

📱 Ensure responsive and accessible design across devices

💡 Reflect a polished and professional interface

Proposed Improvements:

Adjust spacing between elements for a cleaner layout

Add subtle hover animations (underline, color shift, slight scaling)

Smooth transitions for dropdowns or links

Consistent styling for login/signup buttons

Optional: interactive animation for light/dark toggle

Why this is important:

👀 Improved readability & clarity: Proper spacing makes it easier for users to navigate.

🎯 Better user engagement: Subtle hover effects and animations make interactions more intuitive and enjoyable.

📱 Responsive & accessible design: Enhancing the navbar ensures it works smoothly on all devices.

💡 Professional impression: A polished, animated navbar reflects attention to detail and enhances overall UX.

Expected Outcome:

Navbar becomes more engaging, user-friendly, and visually appealing

Navigation is easier and more intuitive across all devices

I’d love to work on improving the navbar as outlined in this issue.

Here’s what I plan to do:

Refine the layout and spacing for better balance and readability

Add subtle hover and transition animations (e.g., underline, color fade, smooth dropdowns)

Ensure consistent styling across all buttons and toggles

Make sure the design remains responsive and accessible on all screen sizes

Optionally enhance the light/dark mode toggle with a smooth animation

These updates will make the navbar more interactive, visually appealing, and aligned with a modern UI/UX standard.
