Add error handling for failed API requests

Is this a bug or feature request?
Bug

What is the current behavior?
Currently, the application does not handle failed API requests, resulting in a poor user experience and potential loss of data.

What is the expected behavior?
The application should handle failed API requests gracefully, providing clear error messages to the user and, if possible, retrying the request.

What is the impact of this issue?
The lack of error handling can lead to confusion for users when API requests fail, and may cause them to lose data if they are not aware that the request has failed. Additionally, it can make it difficult for developers to diagnose and fix issues with the application.

Possible Solutions:

1. Implement a global error handler that catches failed API requests and displays an appropriate error message to the user.
2. If possible, implement a retry mechanism for failed API requests, to increase the chances of success on the second attempt.
3. Log failed API requests for further analysis and debugging.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the application.
2. Trigger an API request (e.g. by submitting a form, or refreshing the page).
3. Disconnect from the internet or otherwise prevent the API request from succeeding.
4. Observe the lack of error handling and the poor user experience.

Additional context:
This issue has been identified as a priority for improving the reliability and user experience of the application. It is also an important step in ensuring that the application can be easily maintained and debugged by developers.
