What
Enhance in-app error messages to be more descriptive and actionable, guiding users on how to resolve issues rather than just asking them to report problems.
Why
The user's product philosophy states that 'Good error messages are a feature, not an afterthought' and that every feature should reduce user friction. Currently, 'adequate' error messages create friction by leaving users confused and unable to self-resolve issues. Improving these messages directly addresses this by making the tool more intuitive and reducing the need for users to report problems, ultimately improving their onboarding experience and overall satisfaction.
How
We'll identify key areas where generic error messages are currently displayed. The approach will involve refactoring existing error handling to provide more context-specific information and actionable steps for the user. This might mean introducing a centralized error utility or updating specific catch blocks to craft more helpful messages.
