🚀 New endpoint: Fetch user profile data reliably on demand

🛡️ Global error handler: Centralized Express middleware to catch and format API errors consistently

📦 Clean imports: Refactored Axios imports to streamline HTTP calls across components

🐛 My debugging nightmare

I spent hours chasing down an elusive error—requests were sporadically failing, but the message didn’t point to any file or component. Tracking it felt like chasing ghosts through async routes. Debugging this taught me the difference between scattered try/catch and a centralized error .
That moment was brutal…but so rewarding when I finally found and fixed the root cause. Seriously, nothing sharpens your skills quite like those moments.

✅ Why this matters

🧩 Cleaner code – one place for all error handling makes services easier to maintain

📈 Better UX – users see consistent error messages, not ugly stack traces

⚡ Developer sanity – less time lost debugging and more time building

💭 What’s next?

Improving frontend UX around loading/error states
More API endpoints: updating profiles, fetching followers, etc.
Deepening test coverage for error paths
