I’m looking for a quick-turnaround fix for a couple of problems crippling my application. On the surface they show up as user-interface glitches, but the root cause seems to be connectivity—specifically repeated API connection failures that leave parts of the front end unresponsive or stuck in endless loading states. Here’s what I know so far: • The UI renders, yet certain views never populate because the API calls behind them time out or return empty responses. • When this happens, layout components shift unexpectedly, making the whole screen feel broken. • Local network and server health check out fine, so I suspect the way the client handles the fetch/axios layer (or equivalent) is at fault. I need you to trace and resolve the handshake between the front-end and the API, patch any resulting UI fallout, and hand back code that’s clean, commented, and ready to merge. If you can demo the fix on a short video or staging link, that will speed up acceptance.
