- Integration: Ensure compatibility with SMCLI
- Backend Integration:
- Desktop Version: For the desktop version, utilize Electron or a similar framework to create a cross-platform application. This approach allows for code reuse from the web app, reducing development time and effort.
- Input Validation: Rigorously validate all user inputs before processing to prevent injection attacks and ensure data integrity.
- Error Handling: Develop comprehensive error handling mechanisms to gracefully manage API errors, network issues, and unexpected data formats.
- Activity Logging: Implement logging for all API interactions, tracking request data, response times, and any errors encountered.
- Performance Monitoring: Use monitoring tools to continuously track the backend's performance, with alerts for any issues that could impact user experience.
- Optimization: Optimize API calls by batching requests, caching and using asynchronous operations where possible.
