🎨 UI Enhancement Request: Blog Page & Navbar #155
Description
📌 Description
The current Blog page UI and Navbar design appear minimal but lack visual appeal, structure, and responsiveness. As shown in the attached screenshot, the design feels flat, loosely spaced, and unengaging, which impacts readability and user interaction—especially for educational or documentation-based platforms.
❗ Key Issues Identified
Navbar:
Very plain; lacks hover states, background color, or visual hierarchy.
No clear separation from the rest of the content (no shadow or color block).
Not fixed/sticky during scroll, which reduces accessibility.
Blog Page UI:
Excessive whitespace and lack of layout density.
The post layout feels outdated and does not use modern blog card/list views.
Tag section is small and looks disjointed.
No visual emphasis on metadata like date, author, or reading time.
Poor alignment and inconsistent margin/padding usage.

✅ Expected Enhancements
Here are some proposed improvements:
Navbar
Add a background color or shadow to give it separation.
Consider making it sticky/fixed on scroll.
Include hover/active states for better interaction cues.
Improve spacing and padding for visual clarity.
Blog Page
Use card-based layout or grid system to display posts attractively.
Add clear typography hierarchy: headings, subheadings, body.
Introduce hover effects or read time indicators with better spacing.
Improve tags styling (border radius, spacing, color contrast).
Enhance author section with better avatar scaling and alignment.
💡 Optional Suggestions
Use TailwindCSS or CSS Modules for responsive design.
Consider using a hero section at the top to welcome users.
Add animations or transitions for tag buttons or hover states.
