[UI/UX Enhancement]: Implement an Error Boundary with a Fallback UI to prevent blank screens #432

Description

Currently, when the application encounters a fatal rendering error or fails to load specific data, it completely crashes and displays a blank white screen. This creates a confusing and poor user experience, as there is no visual feedback indicating that something went wrong.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Navigate to the live deployment link (https://dev-card-web.vercel.app/).
  2. Observe that if the initial data fetch fails or encounters an error, the entire DOM fails to render, leaving the user with a completely blank page.

Expected Behavior

Instead of crashing to a white screen, the application should gracefully catch the error and display a visually appealing "Fallback UI" (e.g., a card that says "Oops! Something went wrong while loading this developer card") with a button to refresh the page.

Proposed Changes

  1. Error Boundary Component: Implement a global Error Boundary wrapper around the main application or specific routes.
  2. Fallback UI Design: Create a clean, responsive UI component (matching the site's design system) that renders whenever an error is caught.
  3. Actionable Button: Include a "Try Again" or "Refresh" button within the fallback UI to allow users to reload the state without manually refreshing the browser.

This is a purely frontend UI/UX enhancement that will make the application much more robust and user-friendly.

I would love to work on this! Please assign this to me.
