Fixes #596

Changes

  • Add expand/compact mode toggle with keyboard shortcuts (j/k/n/p/o/space/s/v/?)
  • Add mobile sidebar with hamburger menu, close button, and search with autocomplete
  • Improve profile page cosmetics: spacing, folder dropdown styling, external links in new tab, message section styling
  • Hide follow button on boosts (desktop hover only, never on mobile)
  • Use normal font weight for "boosted" text to distinguish from post author
  • Always show single post page in expanded mode
  • Show post title as preview in compact mode for posts with headlines

Thanks @Mulder42 for the detailed suggestions!

Testing instructions

  • Toggle compact/expanded mode on main feed and author pages
  • Verify keyboard shortcuts work in compact mode
  • Test mobile: hamburger menu opens sidebar, search with autocomplete works
  • Check single post pages always show expanded
  • Verify boost posts show lighter "boosted" text and no follow button on mobile
  • Check profile page spacing (avatar, description, links, folder dropdown, messages)
