Problem Statement
What problem does this feature solve for SecDev users or contributors?
Users currently need to manually scroll all the way back to the top of long pages after reading content. This creates a poor user experience, especially on pages with lengthy sections such as documentation, blogs, or community content. Contributors and users navigating through multiple sections may find it inconvenient and time-consuming.
Proposed Solution
Describe the change you would like to see.
Add a reusable “Back to Top” button that appears after the user scrolls down a certain distance on the page. When clicked, the button should smoothly scroll the user back to the top of the page.
Suggested behavior:
Button appears only after scrolling down(scrollY>=300)
Smooth scrolling animation
Fixed position at the bottom-right corner
Responsive across desktop and mobile devices
Why This Matters
Explain how this improves deployment, testing, security, or contributor experience.
This enhancement improves overall navigation and accessibility across the platform. It provides a smoother browsing experience for users interacting with long pages and reduces unnecessary scrolling effort.
Benefits include:
Better user experience
Faster page navigation
Improved accessibility and usability
Reusable UI component for multiple pages
Suggested Implementation Area
app/ -> Integrate component into layout or main pagescomponents/ -> Create reusable BackToTop componentlib/app/api/
Alternatives Considered
List any alternative approaches you considered.
Using only browser default scrolling behavior
Adding a sticky navigation bar instead of a floating button
Implementing keyboard shortcuts for navigation
These approaches were considered less intuitive or less accessible for general users.
Additional Notes
Include any screenshots, references, or technical notes.
Suggested implementation details:
Use window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: "smooth" })
Detect scroll position using window.scrollY
Use React hooks like useEffect and useState
Ensure proper z-index and mobile responsiveness
Optional improvements:
Add fade-in/fade-out animation
Add tooltip or hover effect
Customize icon styling to match the site theme
