Improve UX UI for Handling 500 Platform Errors

To enhance the user experience when encountering server errors (Error [500]), we need to modernize the UX and UI following current market standards. The goal is to make error handling clear, friendly, and actionable for users.

Requirements / Guidelines:

  1. Clear & Contextual Error Messaging

    • Avoid vague messages like “Something went wrong.”

    • Provide a simple explanation, e.g., “We’re experiencing a temporary server issue.”

  2. Retry / Recovery Options

    • Include a button for users to retry the action or navigate back to the homepage or marketplace manually.

  3. Friendly Tone

    • Use human-readable text.

    • Ensure a visually calm UI (avoid alarming red unless necessary).

    • Include illustrations or icons to improve user understanding and engagement.

  4. User Support / Documentation

    • Provide a link to a help page with next steps or troubleshooting guidance.
