<issue_title>Allow to enlarge images in posts</issue_title>
<issue_description>currently it is not possible to click the posts with images to enlarge them, when clicking an image in a post, it should be opened in an image viewer with zooming options, like the typical image viewer one see when clicking an image in social media posts to have a closer look </issue_description>

@copilot this has poor mobile support, moving/dragging the big zoomed-in image around to see other parts of it only work on desktop but not when using a touchscreen

@copilot this has poor mobile support, moving/dragging the big zoomed-in image around to see other parts of it only work on desktop but not when using a touchscreen

Added touch event handlers for mobile support in commit 8cacaf7. The image viewer now supports:

• Touch drag to pan when zoomed in
• Single-finger touch gestures
• Works on all touchscreen devices

The implementation mirrors the mouse drag functionality using onTouchStart, onTouchMove, and onTouchEnd event handlers.

The control buttons lack accessible labels. Screen readers will not be able to announce what each button does since the icon components don't provide text alternatives.

Add aria-label attributes to each button:

<button className={styles.controlBtn} onClick={handleZoomOut} aria-label="Zoom out">
  <PixelarticonsZoomOut />
</button>
<button className={styles.controlBtn} onClick={handleReset} aria-label="Reset zoom">
  <PixelarticonsReload />
</button>
<button className={styles.controlBtn} onClick={handleZoomIn} aria-label="Zoom in">
  <PixelarticonsZoomIn />
</button>
<button className={styles.controlBtn} onClick={onClose} aria-label="Close image viewer">
  <PixelarticonsClose />
</button>

yes, but we have _ function at i18n.ts and src/lib/langs/es.json, avoid using hardcoded text in english

[Copilot]

Hardcoded color values duplicate constants from src/constants.ts. These colors should be applied via inline styles in the TypeScript component using the imported constants, following the pattern used in other components like PrimaryButton.tsx and Modal.tsx.

The hardcoded values are:

• Line 30: rgba(24, 24, 33, 0.9) should use BG_COLOR (#181821)
• Line 31: #6364ff should use MAIN_COLOR
• Line 43: rgba(99, 100, 255, 0.2) should use MAIN_COLOR or ACCENT_COLOR with opacity
• Line 47: rgba(99, 100, 255, 0.4) should use MAIN_COLOR or ACCENT_COLOR with opacity

Consider moving these styles to inline styles in the component using the constants, or create CSS custom properties (CSS variables) that are set from the TypeScript constants.

@copilot but we have _ function at i18n.ts and src/lib/langs/es.json, avoid using hardcoded text in english in the aria-labels in ImageViewer component

Updated in commit 255d4a4. All aria-labels and alt text now use the _() function from i18n.ts with Spanish translations added to es.json:

• "Zoom out" → "Reducir zoom"
• "Reset zoom" → "Restablecer zoom"
• "Zoom in" → "Aumentar zoom"
• "Close image viewer" → "Cerrar visor de imagen"
• "Enlarged view" → "Vista ampliada"
