feat: add social icons in footer #937

Description

@ArshiBansal

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the footer section does not include social media links or icons. This makes it harder for users and contributors to quickly connect with the project, follow updates, or access community profiles such as GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, etc.

A modern open-source project usually provides easy access to social handles and repository-related links directly from the footer for better accessibility and engagement.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add responsive social media icons in the footer section of the website.

Suggested additions:

GitHub icon with repository/profile link
LinkedIn icon
Twitter/X icon
Email/contact icon (optional)

Requirements:

Icons should match the existing UI theme
Add hover animations/effects for better UX
Ensure responsiveness across devices
Use accessible labels (aria-labels)
Open external links in a new tab securely (target="_blank" with rel="noopener noreferrer")

This enhancement would improve navigation, branding, and community engagement.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative could be adding plain text social links instead of icons, but icons provide a cleaner and more user-friendly interface.

Another option is placing social links only on the About or Contact page, but including them in the footer ensures they are accessible from every page.
