Research direction
The issue describes that the web app lacks mobile responsiveness, causing horizontal scrolling issues. First, examine the current layout components and CSS files (e.g., `src/components/`, `src/styles/`) to understand the desktop only design. Look through the comments for any suggested approaches or partial work. Consider implementing media queries and touch friendly interactions. The issue is broad; breaking it into smaller tasks (e.g., specific components) might help. Check the repository's contribution guidelines for mobile specific instructions.
