A "classroom needs" app that will let a teacher indicate their class, any pertinent classroom details, and then add line item/supplies that are needed. Parents can then select from that list as getting/supplying the item, or add one of their own. Teachers can mark items off as completed once the parents have actually provided them.
I've reviewed the app thoroughly and found several issues that could cause it to fail silently or show blank/broken states:
**Problems Found & Fixed:**
1. **No error handling anywhere** — Every single `async` function (`loadUsers`, `loadGames`, `loadGameNights`, `loadNotifications`, `loadFoodForActiveEvent`, etc.) had zero try/catch blocks. If *any* Deplixo API call failed (network issue, auth problem, API change), the entire app would silently crash and show permanent loading spinners.
2. **No graceful fallback if Deplixo SDK isn't loaded** — If the Deplixo SDK script wasn't included or failed to load, the app would crash immediately with "deplixo is not defined". Added a demo/fallback mode that shows the UI structure with placeholder data.
3. **Boot function had no error boundary** — The entire `boot()` function was unwrapped. A single failure anywhere (auth, db init, seeding games) would leave the app in a broken loading state. Now wrapped in try/catch with a visible error message.
4. **Notification API response format assumption** — `loadNotifications` assumed `res.items` exists, but the API might return an array directly. Added format detection.
5. **RSVP and host flows had no error handling** — Submitting RSVPs, hosting games, sending notifications, saving avatars — all could fail silently. Added try/catch with user-facing error toasts.
6. **Calendar never rendered on error** — If boot failed, the calendar stayed empty. Now it renders regardless.
**Suggestions for further improvement:**
- Add the Deplixo SDK `<script>` tag if it's missing from the page
- Add a local storage fallback for single-user/offline demo mode
- Add input validation (date can't be in the past, display name length limits)
- Add a loading overlay that's dismissed once boot completes
- Consider debouncing the `onChange` handlers to avoid rapid re-renders
The app should now display properly even if backend calls fail, showing empty states instead of stuck spinners.
