Description

Implement error handling for all API calls made from the frontend. This includes displaying user-friendly messages when an error occurs (e.g., network issues, API failures) and ensuring the application remains responsive.

Reference: Error Handling in React

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing API call patterns in the frontend codebase and identify places where error handling is missing. Then, implement a centralized error handling approach using Error Boundaries or try catch blocks with user friendly feedback.
