Description

Currently, the Navbar does not visually indicate which page or section the user is currently on. This can make navigation less intuitive.

Proposed Enhancement: Add a visual indicator (such as an underline, highlight, bold text, or different color) to the active link in the Navbar. This will help users easily identify the current page.

Benefits:

  • Improves user experience and navigation clarity
  • Makes the interface more intuitive
  • Provides better feedback to the user

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an active link indicator by comparing each navbar link's href with the current page URL and applying a CSS class (e.g., 'active') to the matching link. Use JavaScript to get the current path and loop through links, or use a framework's routing mechanism if applicable. Style the active class with underline, highlight, or bold.
