Description
The leaderboard currently displays participant rows in a static manner. Adding a smooth hover effect would make the interface more interactive, visually appealing, and improve the overall user experience.
Problem
Leaderboard rows do not provide any visual feedback when hovered.
The table feels less engaging and modern.
Users may find it harder to focus on the row they are viewing, especially in long leaderboards.
Proposed Solution
Implement a subtle and smooth hover animation for leaderboard rows, such as:
Slight background color transition
Soft elevation using box-shadow
Gentle scale effect (transform: scale(1.01) or similar)
Smooth transition (transition: all 0.3s ease)
Optional cursor change to indicate interactivity
The animation should remain lightweight and should not affect readability or performance.
Benefits
Enhances UI/UX with modern interactions.
Improves row visibility and user focus.
Makes the leaderboard feel more polished and engaging.
Provides better visual feedback without changing existing functionality.
Acceptance Criteria
Smooth hover animation is applied to leaderboard rows.
Transition is responsive and visually consistent.
The effect works across desktop and mobile-compatible layouts (where applicable).
Existing functionality and performance remain unaffected.
Additional Notes
This is a UI enhancement and does not modify the leaderboard's logic or data. It focuses solely on improving the visual experience.
