[Feature]: Add "Scroll to Top" button for long pages

[Arsh-sudo]

Description

The DevPath landing page has multiple sections (Home, How It Works,
Features, Find Project) and can get quite long when scrolling. There
is no "Scroll to Top" button, forcing users to manually scroll all
the way back up.

Current Behavior

• No scroll to top button exists anywhere on the page
• Users must manually scroll to the top after reading content

Expected Behavior

• A floating "↑" button appears in the bottom-right corner
• Button only appears after scrolling down a certain amount (e.g. 300px)
• Clicking it smoothly scrolls back to the top
• Button disappears when already at the top
• Respects prefers-reduced-motion

Suggested Implementation

• Create a ScrollToTop component
• Use window.scrollY > 300 to show/hide the button
• Use window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' }) on click
• Position: fixed bottom-6 right-6 z-50

Location

Global — should appear on all pages

Hi @komalharshita 👋

I'd like to implement this under GSSoC 2026!

I've already built a ScrollToTop component for another GSSoC project.
Plan: fixed position button, shows after 300px scroll, smooth scroll
on click, respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Please assign this to me! 🚀

Hii @komalharshita
I’d like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026. I can implement a responsive scroll-to-top component with smooth scrolling, conditional visibility, and accessibility support (prefers-reduced-motion).
I’ll keep the UI consistent with the existing design and submit a PR soon. Kindly assign this issue to me. Thanks!

Hi @Rani-s123
Thanks for your interest in the issue 🙌

Since I originally identified, opened, and already proposed the fix approach for this bug, I’d prefer to work on it myself under GSSoC 2026.

I’ve already analyzed the alignment issue and outlined the intended fix in the issue comments.
Requesting the maintainers to please keep the assignment with me according to the project’s first-requester/issue-author workflow.

There are many other open issues available to contribute to as well 🚀
