Research direction
Start by locating the footer markup and its associated styles, then inspect how the listed footer links are currently rendered and how other interactive elements handle hover states. Add one consistent, subtle hover treatment to those links and verify that the transition is visible, accessible, and does not disrupt the footer layout.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes.
~ Currently, the footer links such as Daniel Eden, friends, Edit this on GitHub, Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, [animate@eltonmesquita.com](mailto:animate@eltonmesquita.com), Hippocratic License, pen, Waren Gonzaga, and Elton Mesquita do not have any hover effect. This makes them appear static and less interactive, which can reduce overall user engagement and clarity in navigation.
Describe the solution you'd like.
~ I would like to add a subtle hover effect (like underline slide-in or color transition) to each of the footer links. This will give users immediate visual feedback that these texts are clickable links, enhancing the interactivity and polish of the site.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
- Leaving the links as-is (but this results in a flat, less intuitive UI)
- Adding only a color change on hover (which is effective but less visually appealing than a sliding underline or animated effect)
Additional Context
~ This small UI improvement aligns well with the design aesthetics of the rest of the site and follows modern web design practices. It could use CSS transitions for smooth interaction and help maintain consistency across all interactive elements.
