Sticky Floating Social Bar

Overview: A fixed, right-aligned sidebar component designed to display social media links (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp). It remains visible while scrolling and features an interactive "drawer-like" expansion effect on hover.

Key Features:

Sticky Positioning: Fixed vertically centered on the right edge of the viewport (fixed top-1/2 right-0).

Isolated Hover Effect: When a user hovers over an icon, only that specific item expands to reveal the text and changes to its brand color.

Stable Layout: Uses items-end flex alignment to ensure non-active icons remain perfectly stationary while one expands, preventing layout shifting.

Smooth Transitions: Includes CSS transitions for width, background color, and text opacity.

Tech Stack:

Framework: Tailwind CSS (Utility classes).

Icons: Inline SVGs.

Interactivity: Pure CSS (hover states), no JavaScript required.

Usage: Place this code block directly before the closing </body> tag to ensure it sits on top of all other content (z-50).
