Description
Currently, the navigation bar works correctly on desktop screens (1024px+) but becomes inaccessible on mobile and tablet devices. Navigation links such as:

disappear completely on smaller screens because there is no responsive mobile navigation implementation.
This issue affects overall usability and accessibility, especially for mobile users.
Expected Behavior
On smaller screens:
A hamburger menu icon should appear
Clicking the icon should toggle a mobile navigation drawer/menu
All navigation links should remain accessible
The menu should close after selecting a link
The layout should remain responsive without overflow issues
Current Behavior
Navbar links are hidden on mobile/tablet screens
No hamburger menu exists
Users cannot navigate through the application on smaller devices
Suggested Tech Stack
Frontend:
React.js
Tailwind CSS
Optional: lucide-react for hamburger icons
Possible Implementation
Use responsive Tailwind classes:
hidden lg:flex
lg:hidden
Implement:
Mobile menu toggle using useState
Hamburger icon (Menu)
Close icon (X)
Conditional rendering for mobile navigation
Acceptance Criteria
Desktop navbar remains unchanged
Hamburger menu visible below 1024px
Mobile menu opens/closes correctly
Navigation links accessible on all devices
No horizontal scrolling on mobile
Accessibility attributes added (aria-label, aria-expanded)
Responsive layout tested on mobile/tablet/desktop
