Description
Summary
Currently, when errors occur in the FReD Explorer or FLoRA Annotator apps, users don't have a clear way to understand what went wrong or how to report the issue.
Suggested improvements
- User-friendly error messages: Replace technical error messages with clear, actionable descriptions
- Error toast/notification system: Show non-blocking error notifications that don't disrupt the user flow
- Include context in error reports: When an error occurs, provide an easy way to include relevant context (e.g., what action was being performed, browser info, data state)
- Pre-fill error reports: Consider adding a "Report this error" button that opens the feedback email with error details pre-filled
- Console logging for debugging: Ensure all errors are logged to console with full stack traces for developers
Areas to review
- Data loading errors (CSV parsing, network failures)
- DOI lookup failures
- PDF parsing errors
- Chart rendering errors
- DataTables initialization/update errors

A feedback link has been added to the footer of both apps to make it easier for users to report issues.
