Everything you need to know about Loading Animations
- LisaDziuba 8y agoNo one enjoys waiting. Loading animations can make this process delightful and reduce the perception of waiting time. I made detailed research on * best practices for loading indicators * types of preloaders * tools & resources & history Hope, you'll like it!
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoCute! I personally object to loading progress bars that don't actually show progress. They just start over. I'm waiting for the bar to complete, then it repeats and I'm duh, they sure made a fool out of me.
- LisaDziuba 8y agothose are infinite loading animations and they used when it's not possible to evaluate the waiting time. Indeed, they create a feeling of uncertainty.
- JoeAltmaier 8y ago...or too lazy to code it. And it doesn't have to be time - just progress. Even if its not linear, its better than nothing.
- LisaDziuba 8y agoWe had to use such loading animation as well, the only difference is we put a text description of what our app is doing. That makes waiting a less frustrating, at least users know that app is working on something specific.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoRight! And if you can enumerate those steps, then they can 'fill in the cupcake' or whatever to show that as progress.
