🔮 Future Improvements

Backend

• Introduce backend route for GET /question/{id}/answers (avoids filtering client-side).
• Introduce routers/modules for better structure (questions, answers, stats).
• Add schemas for validation and explicit typing.
• Build proper database migrations.
• Add efficient endpoint for fetching answers for a specific question.
• Add authentication/authorization layer (admin interface visits is public).

Frontend

• Create small API client wrapper for fetch calls.
• Global error-handling strategy, add reusable components for errors, loading states, and forms.
• Apply a scale-based spacing and typography system for visual consistency.
• Improve responsive layout behavior.
• Consider complying with A11y standards.

Testing

• Add FastAPI tests for new endpoints.
• Add Vitest component tests for question/answer flows.
• Include linting & formatting checks in CI.
