Add a Back to top button

[divyaverma-01]

A Back to top on the bottom right side of the screen .

The project as of now offers a textual back to top button, after every section of the document. The problem with this is

• it can be easily missed by the naked eye while scrolling because it is not highlighted in any way(colour, shape, size)
• it is in a text format which blends with the content of the page
• the button is not available at every point of the page, making it inconvenient to use.

You wish to add a "back to top" button on the bottom right, that always stays at the same position to awesome-go.com?

Do open a PR and we can review it. I will assign this issue to you.

As for hacktoberfest tag, there is only hacktoberfest-accepted github label, which I believe is only valid to use for merged PRs?
