When opening the website from a smartphone or laptop, the hero section seems broken

We nees to build a GUI version of the application. We can use JavaFX or swing for that purpose.

The current color of the section is white, it is not matching with the background color. So we can change it to a darker shade.
I will change the font color to black or a darker shade of any color so that it is visible enough (when it is not in the dark mode)

People don't always like to read Documentation from Readme. They want some website which will have a visually appealing look and all the sufficient details of using this application as well as support URLs.
Describe the solution you'd like
A website using html and css containing the documentation present in the README and a navbar should also be present. The support URLs (GitHub issues, My email address, my twitter account for DMs) should be present at the footer.

While all the sections of the website are no using a consistent font-style, the heading section of Downloads is still using some old font, which make it look not consistent with the page style.
The Download Section's heading should be consistent with the page and should have similar styling to other sections of the page. This is how UI Designing works. So I would like to work on this issue

Naming a file everytime is a bit inconvenient for me. Sometimes, I'd like to preserve the original file name. Having a default naming and manual naming option would be handy.
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple name scrap function for the file name would be preferable. This function takes a link as a String and searches for the file name (including its extension). If found, It displays and assigns the name to a variable. If this process fails, then the manual option is shown. The user can also change the file name later.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I had also thought about naming the file with the current DateTime. Since every assignment is unique, it can be a default name.
edit the contributing.md file which is important for a project, as it tells us the Prerequisite, and steps to contribute to any project.

Currently, the application shows HTTP proxy error while downloading an YouTube video. So, I want to have the application support for downloading YouTube videos. Anyone can contribute, just leave a comment and I will assign you with the task. Please link this issue to your PR.
Additional context
Refer to the FileDownloader.java file to see how it downloads a file and find how you can add support for downloading YouTube videos in that file.
The Download Text on the Navbar does not do anything. This should be fixed to take the user to the download section of the page.

It would be nice to move the Contributing section after the Demo, as done in all well-known project READMEs. As the page would refer to the Users before it will to the Potential Contributors.
No response
When you click on a link in the navbar it makes a very abrupt jump to the selected element,
I think it would look better if instead it made a vertical scroll until you reach that element.
If you agree with my proposal I can implement these changes to the project

The users in most cases have to download more than one file, so, in the current version of Drifty, the user can enter maximum one download link and after the file has been downloaded, the application closes.
Describe the solution you'd like
The solution to this problem can be adding arrays to store multiple URLs, respective filenames and respective directories as input. Or, a while loop can also be introduced to run till the user enters stop or the number of files the user wants to download has exceeded.

Error in the new release of Drifty

Currently you have to manually put in each argument as the program asks for them, this would allow inputting some or all of them as program arguments.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow passing the various inputs it asks for as program arguments. They should be input in the same order as asked for, so link fName downloadsFolder. The program should still ask for any values not provided, or if a blank value was provided.
if downloadsFolder is y then it should try to find the default downloads folder. If it cannot find that or n was passed in then it should ask for one. If it is any other value it should be interpreted as a path. This may cause a conflict with saving to drives named y or n, I am not sure how that works exactly. If that is a problem then this could be split into two arguments, one for if a custom path should be used and a second for the custom path.
It could be worthwhile reording the arguments so that link and fName come last, which would make it easier to have a sort of 'default' downloader setup that has the downloads folder selected.
Example program arguments: https://example.com/my_file.txt "My file.txt" y which would download the file from the mentioned link and save it as My file.txt in the default downloads folder if found, asking the user for input if it cannot be found.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to add an image of Drifty (might be logo) printed using characters, for the first line of the console.
Additional context
Refer to this image. Here, the logo of the app is printed in the console. Similar thing needs to be done with Drifty.

The footer looks kind of very basic and unfinished, also the hero section text is simple .
I would like to change the footer and remove the red color after effect with some matching colors. Change the position of social media buttons and edit the font in hero section text.
