Hi, @coder-writes

I am a GSSoC '25 contributor. I would like you to assign this issue to me. Please label it as GSSoC '25 and Level 2.

Issue Description

This feature request is to implement active link highlighting in the Header component's navigation for both desktop and mobile views. The goal is to visually indicate the current page to enhance user experience and navigation clarity.

Why It's Necessary (UI/UX Justification)

From a UI perspective, users should be able to instantly recognize which page they're currently on. Without active link highlighting, navigation becomes ambiguous, especially when users explore multiple pages.

From a UX standpoint, visual feedback during navigation:

  1. Improves clarity and orientation.
  2. Reduces cognitive load.
  3. Creates a consistent, polished experience across devices.

Implementing this will enhance the overall usability and professionalism of the site.
